Ok, no problem, I just thought that a separate commit for one line was overkill.

The problem here is that I have no knowledge what is the maximum MCLK
that the codec accepts. According to the datasheet the maximum supported
frequency of MCLK is 51.2 Mhz. But this doesn't seem to be the case in
practice since a MCLK of 48Mhz causes noises in the sound output.
The idea to divide the MCLK by 2 was proposed by a Everest Semiconductor
engineer.
So I don't know how to make this generic enough to be activated from the
codec driver.
I cced the Everest Semiconductor engineers, maybe they have a proposal
on how to activate this.
