The set_sysclk() now is used to override the output bit clock rate.
But this is not a common way to implement a set_dai_sysclk(). And
this creates a problem when a general machine driver (simple-card
for example) tries to do set_dai_sysclk() by passing an input clock
rate for the baud clock instead of setting the bit clock rate as
fsl_ssi driver expected.

So this patch solves this problem by firstly removing set_sysclk()
since the hw_params() can calculate the bit clock rate. Secondly,
in order not to break those TDM use cases which previously might
have been using set_sysclk() to override the bit clock rate, this
patch changes the driver to override it based on the slot number.

The patch also removes an obsolete comment of the dir parameter.

Slots are not necessarily 32 bits width.
Indeed, a simple grep of snd_soc_dai_set_tdm_slot shows 16, 24, 32 and 0 bits usage. (don't know the real meaning of 0 BTW...)
So, it should be good to also remember the slots width given in snd_soc_dai_set_tdm_slot() call.

Anyway, there is something wrong in the snd_soc_codec_set_sysclk usage by fsl_ssi
Let's get a look again at the description:

/**
* snd_soc_dai_set_sysclk - configure DAI system or master clock.
* @dai: DAI
* @clk_id: DAI specific clock ID
* @freq: new clock frequency in Hz
* @dir: new clock direction - input/output.
*
* Configures the DAI master (MCLK) or system (SYSCLK) clocking.
*/
int snd_soc_dai_set_sysclk(struct snd_soc_dai *dai, int clk_id,
unsigned int freq, int dir)

So, it can be used to configure 2 different clocks (and more) with different usages.

Lukasz complains that simple-card is configuring MCLK incorrectly. but simple-card, only want to configure the SYSCLK, whereas fsl_ssi understand "configure the MCLK..." (fsl_ssi doesn't check the clk_id at all)

I think the problem is here.
I would propose a new clk_id

#define FSL_SSI_SYSCLK_MCLK 1

And leave fsl_ssi_set_dai_sysclk(xxx, FSL_SSI_SYSCLK_MCLK, ...) override the computed mlck.
This will leave a way for obscure TDM users to specify a specific a random mclk frequency for obscure reasons...
Unfortunately, such generic clock_id (sysclk, mclk) were never defined widely.

Is it really needed ? It is true that, up to now, we are using fsl_ssi_set_dai_sysclk() in addition to snd_soc_dai_set_tdm_slot() only because this was the only way to deal with correct mclk setting. And if now, snd_soc_dai_set_tdm_slot() do its job correctly, fsl_ssi_set_dai_sysclk() will become useless (except for obscure TDM users of course)

Will it break TDM users ?
I will say yes, surely, but TDM users (at least myself) may consider something will break in TDM audio area every-time we jump to a new linux release...
