Sometimes, when codec MCLK or sample rate changed, the pll out frequency
also should be changed, otherwise set_pll function will be failed.

I made it to auto select pll frequency when snd_soc_dai_set_pll failed, so that
it can support more sample rate, and don't need to set different pll out
frequency for different sample rate and different MCLK.
