Slots are not necessarily 32 bits width.
Indeed, a simple grep of snd_soc_dai_set_tdm_slot shows 16, 24, 32 and 0 
bits usage. (don't know the real meaning of 0 BTW...)
So, it should be good to also remember the slots width given in 
snd_soc_dai_set_tdm_slot() call.

Anyway, there is something wrong in the snd_soc_codec_set_sysclk usage 
by fsl_ssi
Let's get a look again at the description:

    /**
      * snd_soc_dai_set_sysclk - configure DAI system or master clock.
      * @dai: DAI
      * @clk_id: DAI specific clock ID
      * @freq: new clock frequency in Hz
      * @dir: new clock direction - input/output.
      *
      * Configures the DAI master (MCLK) or system (SYSCLK) clocking.
      */
    int snd_soc_dai_set_sysclk(struct snd_soc_dai *dai, int clk_id,
         unsigned int freq, int dir)

So, it can be used to configure 2 different clocks (and more) with 
different usages.

Lukasz complains that simple-card is configuring MCLK incorrectly. but 
simple-card, only want to configure the SYSCLK, whereas fsl_ssi 
understand "configure the MCLK..." (fsl_ssi doesn't check the clk_id at all)

I think the problem is here.
I would propose a new clk_id

     #define FSL_SSI_SYSCLK_MCLK 1

And leave fsl_ssi_set_dai_sysclk(xxx, FSL_SSI_SYSCLK_MCLK, ...) override 
the computed mlck.
This will leave a way for obscure TDM users to specify a specific a 
random mclk frequency for obscure reasons...
Unfortunately, such generic clock_id (sysclk, mclk) were never defined 
widely.

Is it really needed ? It is true that, up to now, we are using 
fsl_ssi_set_dai_sysclk() in addition to snd_soc_dai_set_tdm_slot() only 
because this was the only way to deal with correct mclk setting. And if 
now, snd_soc_dai_set_tdm_slot() do its job correctly, 
fsl_ssi_set_dai_sysclk() will become useless (except for obscure TDM 
users of course)

Will it break TDM users ?
I will say yes, surely, but TDM users (at least myself) may consider 
something will break in TDM audio area every-time we jump to a new linux 
release...
