The BCLK is going to be a multiple of 50 * Fs due to clocking 
restrictions. Can the codec regenerate a good-enough sysclk from this?

IIRC the FS can be controlled with the clk_ api with the Skylake driver, 
as done for some KBL platforms. Or is this not supported by the firmware 
used by this machine?

is there a reason why you'd need a msleep for resume and not for start?
