This seems weird - it looks like it's confusing MCLK and the bit clock
for the audio bus.  These are two different clocks.  Note that it's very
common for devices to require a higher MCLK/fs ratio to deliver the best
audio performance, 256fs is standard.

Same thing here - this is at least confusing MCLK and the bit clock.

This shouldn't be open coded in a driver, please factor it out into the
core so we've got an API for "set limit X on control Y" then call that.
