Different from other Tegra sound controllers drivers, the AC97
controller driver uses the tegra asoc utils directly to request the
needed clocks, as they are needed at AC97 init time. Move the DT clock
defines to the right place.

I'm sorry but I just don't understand what this change is supposed to do
- what is the current place, what is wrong with it and what is the
correct place?

The clocks used by the Tegra ASoC utils were defined in the machine
driver DT node for all boards, as this is were they get requested by the
I2C and SPDIF Tegra audio drivers. Differently from those two the AC97
driver has to request those clocks in the controller drivers, as they
are needed at this point for proper initialisation.
So the patch moves the clocks from the machine driver node to the AC97
controller DT node, so they can be requested in the right driver.

Regards,
Lucas

Why is the way the other devices are doing this sensible?

Because they only need those clocks when actually playing audio, so
requesting them late in the process when loading the machine driver is
perfectly fine for them. The AC97 controller however already needs those
clocks when initializing the controller and codec, so it has to request
them earlier.

I'm not convinced this is the correct approach.

The machine driver needs to manage these clocks, so that it can
co-ordinate between different audio paths. For example, consider a
system that supports two different I2S paths. In HW, if both are active
at once, these need to both run at a derivative of 48KHz or both run at
a derivative of 44.1KHz. The machine driver is the central place that
enforces that, and should eventually automatically place constraints on
one stream when another is configured for a specific sample rate. By the
same argument, AC'97 can't be a special case here, in case there's some
system with both AC'97 and I2S hooked up.

I find it highly unlikely to find any Tegra 20 board with such a
configuration. But as your argument is technically correct, I'll try to
fix things up the right way and see how big the impact is.

But why does it make sense to do that?  The clocks are directly
connected to the IP blocks in hardware after all..
