This is fairly clearly a massive hack, we're just silently ignoring the
clock we were asked to configure and choosing another one which is
likely at a different rate to that we were expecting and sadly the
driver didn't provide an automatic mode due to how old it is.  We also
appear to try to use the configured clock rate during PLL setup which
still happens in hw_params() even with this change which is a bit of a
concern here.  Are you sure hw_params ends up doing the right thing, and
that there are no other systems that get broken by this (perhaps ones
sending a lower BCLK for example)?

It would be nicer to set the clock via the DT bindings, ideally with the
clock bindings...
