If I read this correctly below is the configuration you need,
SoC -> MCLK(fixed rate) -> PLL(wm8904) -> PLL output (256 * fs) -> sysclk

From the doc simple-card.txt, "simple-audio-card,mclk-fs" is a scaling
factor for MCLK and hence I am not sure if it is correct to have
"*mclk-fs" property when MCLK is fixed. In simple cases, codec sysclk
direclty depends on MCLK and set_sysclk() callback helps. Your case
requires PLL configuration and set_pll() may be a better alternative.
However simple-card does not offer this yet. But even if this is added,
there should be a way to suggest PLL output requirement as a function of
sample rate.
