It's wrong for a hw_params() for one stream to try to configure the PLL
when the other stream has already called hw_params(), configured the PLL
and started it. E.g. if you started a PLAYBACK, configured and
started everything, then got another hw_params() for the CAPTURE.

cs42l42_pll_config() could check whether it is already running and skip
configuration in that case, but that seems to me a rather opaque
implementation. In my opinion this doesn't really fall into the case of
ignoring-bad-stuff-to-be-helpful (like free() accepting a NULL).

hw_params() deals with both playback and capture streams so it makes
sense to me that it should contain logic to ensure it isn't stomping on
the other stream it already set up, rather than have everything it calls
figure out whether it shouldn't have done that.
