Ah, ok I see what I was missing here. simple_card_utils calls
clk_set_rate if you specify mclk_fs. Which you don't want in this
case. My gut reaction is that really the problem here is the machine
driver doesn't support the clocking setup you have.

Having a quick look through the simple card stuff can you remove:

	clocks = <&audio_refclk1>;

>From the machine driver DT stuff, and add mclk-fs. I think that
should cause the simple card to call the codec dai_set_sysclk
but without ever touching the audio_refclk. A small change in
simple_util_parse_clk might also be needed to allow it to return
without finding a clock. Which feels like a much simpler and less
scary change.

My only slight reservation is the automatic clocking thing only
really exists as a hack to support simple card anyway. But overal
I think it might be better to try to move the direction of travel
more to adding support for the clocking systems that exist into
simple-card rather than tweaking the codec driver to work around
it.

Thanks,
