I found out the mail from Zidan regarding the same GPR bit: http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2015-August/096401.html According to his reply, this bit also controls the clock source of MCLK2 for the SAI. Each SAI has 3 MCLKs, but first disregarding MCLK3: When this bit gets set, the MCLK1 and MCLK2 of the corresponding SAI are both getting clock from CCM, and in the meantime outputting the clock via the PAD to external Codec chips. In this case, MCLK1 and MCLK2 have same clock rate, nothing special for bit clock dividing. When this bit gets clear, MCLK1 of the corresponding is still getting its clock from CCM while MCLK2 switches its source from CCM to the PAD. In this case, MCLK1 and MCLK2 can have different clock rates so as to support two sample rate groups: 44.1KHz and 48Khz. So, beside gating the clock output, it's more likely a clock MUX for MCLK2 of each SAI to switch between CCM and external input. Because DT property will be hard to change once we define it. I think it would be better to confirm this first before patching it (with Zidan or i.MX IC team). But the driver part, whether putting it to probe() or to set_dai_sysclk(), doesn't matter to me since we can change/improve it later as long as it follows the correct binding.
