Hrm.  Is it actually worth having manual configuration of the PLL
(beyond selection of the PLL to use), or could the driver figure out the
required output frequency for lppll?  Either way is fine from an ASoC
point of view, it's just that if the driver can figure the configuration
out for itself that makes it a little easier to use.

In any case...

Note that they're actually passed to ALSA when the substreams are opened
- all that wm8988 is doing in set_sysclk() is recording the constraints
that it will use next time that happens.  Up until the point where you
tell ALSA about the constraints you can do pretty much whatever you like
so long as it makes sense, so what you say above is probably fine.  For
the wm8988 there's no PLL so once the input clock is known there's
nothing more to do for it.
