Downstream RT5631 Tegra driver has exactly the same FIXME.

Although, I now see that downstream RT5631 uses 384*srate for the
default cases.

I also see that WM8994 driver that we have in grate-kernel for Galaxy
Tab and SGH-I927 also re-uses that mclk_rate function.

The 128*srate gives MCLK >6MHZ for 64/88/96, 256*srate gives MCLK >6MHZ
for rates below 64kHZ. Looks like the goal is to get MCLK >6MHZ.

 The WM8903 datasheet says:

"The  following  operating  frequency  limits  must  be  observed  when
 configuring  CLK_SYS.  Failure  to  observe   these   limits   will
result   in   degraded  noise   performance   and/or   incorrect
ADC/DAC  functionality.

If DAC_OSR = 0 then CLK_SYS  3MHz
If DAC_OSR = 1 then CLK_SYS  6MHz"

Where DAC_OSR is DAC Oversampling Control
0 = Low power (normal oversample)
1 = High performance (double rate)

I see that DAC_OSR=0 by default, it can be switched to 1 by userspace
ALSA control.
