OK, this looks good.

And the remaining piece I don't get is that these are not bindings for
codec, but for sound audio card. You want to set "system-clock-id"
property for audio card, while putting clock from codec, which will be
used to pass back to the codec... so it is a property of the codec, not
of the audio card. IOW, NAU8821_CLK_* does not configure here the clock
of the system, but only, only clock of the codec.
