The problem here is that I have no knowledge what is the maximum MCLK that the codec accepts. According to the datasheet the maximum supported frequency of MCLK is 51.2 Mhz. But this doesn't seem to be the case in practice since a MCLK of 48Mhz causes noises in the sound output. The idea to divide the MCLK by 2 was proposed by a Everest Semiconductor engineer. So I don't know how to make this generic enough to be activated from the codec driver. I cced the Everest Semiconductor engineers, maybe they have a proposal on how to activate this.

The usual constraint would be that MCLK can be at most some multiple of LRCLK or something similar (are all the other dividers in the chip set sensibly for the full scale MCLK?). In any case you're clearly aware of a specific case where it needs to be divided down which can be identified even if you're concerned about dividing down for other cases.

A delayed_work is added to turn on the speaker.

Sorry, I didn't run lockdep before sending the patches, I will rework the locking code.

This just sounds like a complicated way of implementing a DAPM POST event? Or now I think about it possibly we just need to tweak the current sorting such that speakers aren't run in parallel with headphones and line outputs, that should cover any issues with external speaker amplifiers. AFAICT the issue here is a speaker driver amplifying a pop in a line output from the CODEC?
