Not doing an error check for clk_set_rate is not rare because
clk_set_rate fails if the clk which you are trying to set is already
enabled. Now we can add a is_prepared check before calling clk_set_rate
but that would be redundant as clk_set_rate does the same check.

acceptable ratios for da7219 from spec are:
00 = 32 BCLKS per WCLK
01 = 64 BCLKS per WCLK
10 = 128 BCLK per WCLK
11 = 256 BCLK per WCLK

da7219 derives this ration from SR for a wclk. The same we do in machine
driver.
Conflict comes only in case of an exception where there is constraint
from a hw component. Else when the audio is played on da7219 codec we
could have let da7219 only set rate and enable clks.
