[alsa-devel] [PATCH 4/6] ASoC: davinci-pcm: fix audible glitch on 2nd ping-pong playback

The release of the dma channels was being performed in prepare and there was a
edma_resume call for the asp-channel only being executed on START, RESUME and
PAUSE_RELEASE.

The mcasp on da850evm with ping-pong buffers enabled was exhibiting an audible
glitch on every playback after the first. It was determined through trial and
error that the following two changes fix this problem:

1) Move the edma_start calls from prepare to trigger and 2) reverse the order
of starting the asp and ram channels.
