This isn't totally accurate, the driver expects it will be set
through the set_clkdiv callback. Which one could probably argue
is a bit of a more legacy approach, but probably worth calling
that out here.

Probably better to use snd_soc_params_to_bclk or similar helper.

We should probably add something to handle the interaction with
set_clkdiv and skip this if a fixed divider has been set. Well
either that or remove the set_clkdiv option, although that is a
little braver.
