The driver allow to set the sysclk frequency
of the CPU DAI through `priv->cpu_priv.sysclk_freq` when calling
`fsl_asoc_card_hw_params()`.
Currently it is hard-coded per use-case in the driver.

My reasoning was that with a generic codec/compatible, there might
be use-cases needing to use this parameter, so I exposed it here via DT.

Is it a bad idea to expose this parameter ? This is not a requirement for the
driver to work, most of the current compatibles do not use this parameter.
It is currently used only for `fsl,imx-audio-cs42888`.
In that case I can remove this commit.

Best regards,
