As mentioned in the previous patch description, there's a bad timing
with es8316_pcm_startup() being executed before the 2nd call to
es8316_set_dai_sysclk(), with the effect that the new/updated
rate constraints won't be used until the next playback attempt.

Hence the approach here was to ensure the initial list of restricted
rates is sane, by (pre)assigning a proper MCLK. Alternatively, we could
have used an unsupported MCLK and, with the help of the previous patch,
we would have ended up with no restrictions applied on es8316_pcm_startup().
