 - sdmode-gpios : GPIO specifier for the chip's SD_MODE pin.
         If this option is not specified then driver does not manage
         the pin state (e.g. chip is always on).
+- sdmode-delay : specify delay time for SD_MODE pin.
+        If this option is specified, which means it's required i2s clocks
