I'm not convinced this is the correct approach.

The machine driver needs to manage these clocks, so that it can
co-ordinate between different audio paths. For example, consider a
system that supports two different I2S paths. In HW, if both are active
at once, these need to both run at a derivative of 48KHz or both run at
a derivative of 44.1KHz. The machine driver is the central place that
enforces that, and should eventually automatically place constraints on
one stream when another is configured for a specific sample rate. By the
same argument, AC'97 can't be a special case here, in case there's some
system with both AC'97 and I2S hooked up.
