I could do it.

The main reason for adding a custom driver and not using graph/simple 
card is the snd_soc_dai_set_sysclk(codec_dai, WM8731_SYSCLK_XTAL, 
                              XTAL_RATE, SND_SOC_CLOCK_IN) call. This 
enables the oscillator found in the wm8731 codec. Since 
WM8731_SYSCLK_XTAL is not 0, we can't use system-clock-frequency DT 
property to set it.
