Yes so the MCLK needs to be available before we start the FLL, so
my thinking was we would enable the clock that corresponds
to the source for the FLL in arizona_set_fll before we start
enabling the FLL.

The direct MCLK would require a little more work but we could
probably enable the clock in this case from wm5110_sysclk_ev.

I have sent you through a copy of my prototype clock patches you
can have a look at. I am going to have a bit of a look over this
today and hopefully will be able to get back to you with more
concrete thoughts later today.

Thanks,
