Yes, I am not that happy myself with that one. Possible victim is
keystone-k2g-evm.dts. 
I looked for if (master) things and found the pll enable/disable connected to it.
But that is not the whole story...

I found no path from these simple-audio-card things to provide a clk_id 
to set_dai_sysclk. I would of course prefer such a thing. Do I have overlooked
something?
