Sir, I'm glad you're teaching me this lesson. I did hesitate before I
sent this patch, just couldn't tell the reason. And swear to god, I
hadn't used and will never use this practice again.

Currently we only have fsl_ssi_setup() to set I2S mode. It's definitely
a good idea to save it into private structure at that point. But there
will be new ASoC function -- set_dai_fmt() appending to this driver.
It will provide ASoC machine driver an interface to set I2S mode again,
and we must put a saving code as well at that time. So I think put the
saving code here would keep the modification within a small range. But
I here might be so obsessed with trying to make the patch as neat as
possible that I picked a demon sword.

But I'm still willing to learn the lesson. And I'll refine this patch.

Much obliged,
Nicolin Chen
