The simple-card-utils driver does not populate the clock handle whenever 
the MCLK clock is parsed from CODEC device node. So 
asoc_simple_set_clk_rate() will not update the rate and clock 
enable/disable won't happen either.Initially I had tried to fix this in 
the simple-card-utils itself and it did break few things on other HW.
Please see [0] for relevant discussion.

Later [1] was pushed to address the issue I was facing that time.

In summary, the suggestion was, clock property should be associated with 
only devices and device driver should own up the clock handling for it. 
The machine driver can just pass the required configuration for it.
