That's good, because I'm right now having hard time finding out how to
calculate the frequencies!

Ok, I settle on this than.

Thanks, that's good to know!

Do you know, by chance, which of the snd_soc* callbacks should be used to
implement setting of the MCLK? The one in snd_soc_component_driver or
snd_soc_dai_driver->ops (snd_soc_dai_ops)?

Or how the userspace interface looks like? Or, if there is no userspace
interface for this, how the MCLK is supposed to be set? Through mclk-fs?
