the mode in that the <what> will be used in?

You should probably reword this for clarity.

It was my understanding that the master node provides the clock to the 
bus, so not sure how it could be a clock slave, and conversely how a 
slave node could provide a clock to the bus?

how does this work for PDM data?

is the PDM data packed into a regular TDM slot?

A comment wouldn't hurt here...
