Hm I am trying to get that driver to work ... from time to time.
It's just that ALSA SoC DT has changed to much that it turns out
into a complete rewrite :/

So in sound/soc/ux500/mop500_ab8500.c
I see this:

        status = clk_set_parent(drvdata->clk_ptr_intclk, clk_ptr);
        if (status)
(...)

and there is elaborate code to switch between "SYSCLK" and
"ULPCLK" (ulta-low power clock). Just like you say... however
a clock named SYSCLK or ULPCLK does not appear in the
code in drivers/clk/ux500 or any DT bindings so... it seems to
be non-working for the time being.
