I checked everything and the source of the problem is, that on our
hardware the bit clock of the codec is connected to AHCLKX. According to
the datasheet, AHCLKX is for the master clock only. On the other hand,
it is possible to route a bitclock from AHCLKX to the subsystem (what I
did with my patches).

Now my question is, if it is even worth trying to bring such an option
for the driver (use AHCLKX as bit clock in) upstream?

Thanks
