Does the check fail and return an error here, or not?

No. We should not set the IP block clock. That's from IPG bus
on certain IMX SoCs. Setting it might change IPG bus clocks
which might break the system.

And apparently, we shouldn't set bitclk to 66MHz either. Can
you help to find where this 66MHz comes from?

I kinda see your point is to error out before hw_params(). So
I feel it would be better to have a similar 5-times-check in
the set_sysclk() too, if it's really necessary.

Btw, I don't see simple card calling set_sysclk() function in
any earlier stage than hw_params(). I am wondering how did you
encounter the problem?

Thanks
