It makes sense to use an already existing clock framework, but I'm 
wondering, how do we model the clock select function? Using a clock mux? 
Somewhere, somehow, something needs to look at the setup and decide which 
pin on the codec should be the clock source (e.g. MCLK, GPIO2, or BCLK in 
the case of the tlv320aic3106).
