This looks like (and mostly should be) a DTified copy of the littlemill
driver.  The major differences are the fact that this lacks jack
detection, the management of the clock and the fact that instead of
picking a fixed clock frequency this tries to adjust based on
hw_params().  Ideally we'd be able to merge these drivers so we're
keeping up with best practice.

The reason we pick a fixed frequency for littlemill is that the device
supports analogue bypass paths which would be broken otherwise which
will apply here also I imagine.

For things outside the audio subsystem it's more common to use a depends
instead of a select - the selects are there because the drivers only
work with a machine driver and if we go outside the subsystem then since
selects aren't recursive we end up breaking elsewhere.  For example here
we'll end up not selecting MFD_CORE.
