Hi Markus,

Thanks for looking into the changes.

Because in the AC'97 mode the driver supports only one channel config and one sample format
anyway the remaining settings controlled by this property don't do anything.

Since it should be safe to enable asymmetric rates with any AC'97 CODEC I think it is good
to do it in driver than to add "fsl,ssi-asynchronous" to every AC'97 DT node.

Also the description of this property in fsl,ssi.txt looks like that it only makes sense in
non-AC'97 mode.

This is just a resubmission, there are no functional differences since
it was originally submitted a month ago.

I understand that the problem with FIQ handler described in comment
on top of fsl_ssi.c only pertains incoming data, that is capture.

This patch effectively does not touch capture rates as they are already
limited to 48kHz only since this is the only capture rate defined in
fsl_ssi AC'97 DAI driver capture capabilities.
