It isn't actually shown in the diff here but we now have two different bitclock and frame masters, specified differently, c.f.:

https://gitlab.com/linux-kernel/linux/-/blob/master/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/px30-ringneck-haikou.dts?ref_type=heads#L78-L79

So I very much assume we should also delete those two lines in the simple-audio-card,cpu node?
