Is there any standard way of doing this in ASoC? Couldn't find any
example where the bitclk is relaxed to lowest value greater than the
desired one.

I have prepared some patches with this approach, you can look at them
here:

http://pastebin.com/0xW0E82N - some refactoring of sysclk search
http://pastebin.com/QRt1UT7Q - relax bitclk value
