Hmm...the case should be a bit more complicated here IMO.

"tx && sai->synchronous[TX]" means the playback in synchronous
mode (TX following RX). What if the recording has been already
activated with an MSEL setting at this point? Then the playback
stream, as a secondary stream, will overwrite MSEL of the first
stream -- Record. Same would happen to the DIV configuration.

It actually doesn't matter to enable the clock again since it
purely increaes its count. But we do need a protection for MSEL
overwritten issue resulted from the fsl_sai_set_bclk() call.

Besides, I doubt that only one property of mclk_id can content
Asynchronous Mode -- TX and RX can fetch their clocks from
different MCLK sources.
