Hmm, it is a bit complicated.

When I enabed wm8940 support in mainline - the first call to
wm8940_set_dai_sysclk (the set_sysclk callback) required mclk = 11997070
frequency.

With the current code [1] the initialization of the codec returns
-EINVAL and the codec is not supported in the system:

asoc-simple-card: probe of sound failed with error -22



The approach used in this patch set to fix the above issue is based on
one already present in-tree for wm8974 codec.

Ok, I will add some more verbose description. The aforementioned SHA1
is referring to commit already in-tree, so you would find it easily
even without the Internet.
