Looking into soc_pcm_hw_params, I see dai_link hw_params ops happens 
prior to  platform snd_soc_dai_driver hw_params ops.

So, PLL rate change thru asoc_utils_set_rate happens during sample rate 
config of dai_link hw_params ops and during this time I2S will always be 
in idle state.

Sameer, Please confirm.
