Yeah that looks good.

Apologies but just realised there is still one small problem here.
You want to match the closest BCLK that is over your target rate,
if the BCLK is too slow the system won't work. As your bclk_divs
array is sorted I think you can do something like:

	for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(bclk_divs); i++) {
		bclk = wm8978->f_256fs / bclk_divs[i];

		if (bclk < target_bclk)
			break;

		bclkdiv = i;
	}

Thanks,
