Uwe,

The code around line 104 in kirkwood-i2s.c is not what it should be
(the patch from Russell is lost somewhere in the mailing-list).
Instead of:

	if (rate == 44100 || rate == 48000 || rate == 96000) {
		/* use internal dco for the supported rates
		 * defined in kirkwood_i2s_dai */

it should be:

	if (IS_ERR(priv->extclk)) {	/* no external clock */
		/* use internal dco - the supported rates are
		 * defined in kirkwood_i2s_dai */

That is: if there is an external clock, use it.

In fact, the internal dco is used for two audio devices. When both
devices are used at the same time, at least one of them must always use
an external clock, otherwise, there is a clock rate conflict.

As only one clock is used, there is no need to declare 2 clocks in the
DT, but the driver must know if it uses the internal or external clock
(to set the right clock input and also because their rates are not set
the same way)

So, the probe code should be:

	/* check first if an external clock is declared */
	priv->extclk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, "extclk");
	if (!IS_ERR(priv->extclk)) {
		... use the external clock ...
	} else {

		/* get the first clock which must be the dco */
		priv->clk = devm_clk_get(&pdev->dev, NULL);
		if (IS_ERR(priv->clk))
			.. error, no clock ..
		.. use the internal dco ...
	}
