The spec allows a maximum input Clk of 50MHz. Useful for the concerned
mode are only clocks with 22.5792/45.1584MHz for the 44.1ksps family rates
and 24.576/49.152MHz for the 48ksps. The only thing we need
to make sure is to divide the master clock by 2 in case of a MCLK input
of >25MHz to use the the same settings hereafter.
And yes, we cannot be sure that future devices may require different
settings, but I can hardly imagine anything completely different than
this approach with the usual audio MCLK frequencies.

The PLL should not be used in this specific case where all divisions are
just divide-by-2's. Your original code does reflect that and turns the
PLL off. It improves jitter and finally audio performance.
But in the case of the TAS-devices we even then need the PLL to
drive the AMP clocks.
My code changes only address the case 'TAS-device and external audio MCLK'.
All other constellations like clock slave mode or e.g. 12MHz MCLK input
require the PLL anyhow. THe 12MHz clock input even requires the FLEX mode
through the PLL using the GPIOs as PLL-in and -out.
I hope I could clarify things a bit.
