Sorry, I don't understand.

The card calls set_sysclk(), which eventually ends up in the codec.
The codec therefore, could figure out if it needs to configure the
clock or if it can use its internal FLL.
Is that what you mean?

But the set_sysclk() of the codec isn't even called, because the
card itself already tries to call clk_set_rate() on the Codec's MCLK,
which returns with an error [0].
