WM8960 derives bit clock from sysclock using BCLKDIV[3:0] of R8
clocking register (See WM8960 datasheet, page 71).

There are use cases, like this:
aplay -Dhw:0,0 -r 48000 -c 1 -f S20_3LE -t raw audio48k20b_3LE1c.pcm

where no BCLKDIV applied to sysclock can give us the exact requested
bitclk, so driver fails to configure clocking and aplay fails to run.

Fix this by relaxing bitclk computation, so that when no exact value
can be derived from sysclk pick the closest value greater than
expected bitclk.

Changes since v1:
	* use a marker to check if a match is found
	* didn't removed PLL as Charles suggested because there is
	a special PLL mode which explictly uses PLL. We could start
	a discussion on not using PLL when deriving bitclk, but this
	is to be done in another patch.

Could you elaborate on this a little more am I not sure I follow
100%? There is a mode which explictly requires the PLL to be used
(WM8960_SYSCLK_PLL) but in that case your wm8960_configure_sysclk
code will not be called so I don't see what is causing that to have
an effect on this patch?

Thanks,
Charles

My doubt is, what happens if wm8960_configure_clocking is called with
wm8960->clk_id = WM8960_SYSCLK_PLL and we remove the PLL
as suggested.

Is this possible even possible?

Anyhow, I noticed that so far wm8960->clk_id is never set to
WM8960_SYSCLK_PLL :).

So, my proposal is to merge this patch which improves the existing code and deal
with PLL fallback in a separate patch later.

I am afraid of touching things which I don't understand how they work :D.

thanks,
Daniel.

I wasn't suggesting removing the PLL just that if we find a
"relaxed match" we don't need to then check the PLL for a better
match, as I suspect that a slightly higher than needed bit clock
has less power/performance impact than firing up the PLL.

Which removes the need to differenciate between a relaxed and
bang on match in wm8960_configure_sysclk and means you don't have
to do the caching the values across the PLL code that you do now.

Thanks,
Charles

Oh, I see. So we still use the PLL when no exact or relaxed match
is found.

Yeah exactly or in the case that it is requested directly.
