I finally got some time to test and debug clock auto-selection on my
system, and unfortunately couldn't get it to work.
Here's some background about my use case: the i.MX6 board acts as a
Bluetooth proxy between a phone and a headset. It has 2 Bluetooth
modules (one for each connected device), with audio connected to SSI1 &
SSI2. Audio sample rate can be either 8 or 16kHz, and bclk can be either
512 or 1024kHz, all depending of the capabilities of the headset and phone.
In our case we want SSI2 to be the input clock to the ASRC and SSI1 the
output clock, but there is no way to force that with auto-selection:
both clocks are multiples of both 8k and 16k, so the algorithm will
always select the SSI1 clock.
I don't think auto-selection can be made smart enough to cover this
case, which is why I believe we still need a way to manually setup the
input and output clocks to be used by ASRC, falling back to
auto-selecting the clocks if not setup manually.
If not using DT bindings, what do you think would be the best way to
implement that?

Arnaud
