How do I adjust the PDM clock frequency and PDMCLKCTRL register value of the nRF5340?

Hi,

I have a question after using the DMIC example on the nRF5340:

how do I adjust the PDM clock frequency to 1.28MHz, or how can I achieve this by changing the value of PDMCLKCTRL to 0x0A000000?

Below is my understanding after finding relevant documents. Please correct me if there are any errors, thank you.

I saw the following explanation about PCLK32M and ACLK in the PDM Documentation.

However, in the following overlay file of the DMIC sample, the clock source of &pdm0 is ACLK.

nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp.overlay (without any modifications)

&clock {
	hfclkaudio-frequency = <12288000>;
};

&pinctrl {
	pdm0_default_alt: pdm0_default_alt {
		group1 {
			psels = <NRF_PSEL(PDM_CLK, 0, 25)>,
				<NRF_PSEL(PDM_DIN, 0, 26)>;
		};
	};
};

dmic_dev: &pdm0 {
	status = "okay";
	pinctrl-0 = <&pdm0_default_alt>;
	pinctrl-names = "default";
	clock-source = "ACLK";
};

Based on the above explanation and overlay file, does this mean I cannot change the PDM clock frequency to 1.28MHz using PDMCLKCTRL? Or how can I achieve this by modifying the overlay's clock-source to PCLK32M and modifying the main code?

If not using PDMCLKCTRL, how can I achieve this by modifying the main code of the DMIC sample using ACLK?
