Thanks for looking into this. Before going into details, a few generic comments.
All serializers configured in Tx (or Rx) work off common clock generators and
hence the serializers will be operating in sync. I assume the setup that you
have matches this requirement. Based on the DMA programming assumed in the
implementation the user needs to ensure that buffer has the data in the right
format. Can you please describe the setup that you have and how you tested this?

I don't see SRMOD_TX/RX being used anywhere.

The number of active serializers is already being calculated below.

Sorry I don't follow what you are trying to do here.

Why are you setting this to 8?

Same here.

Can you please describe what DMA configuration you want? I think you can
get rid of the active_serializers configuration by making use of tx_num_evt.

I think there's a problem is the way in which tx_num_evt is interpreted in the current code.
Instead of setting to fifo_level to tx_num_evt, if you set it to tx_num_evt * num_serializers
you can get rid of the additional code to take care of the number of serializers.

Err.. this will most likely break other audio configurations. You should look at how to
avoid this change by making use of the mask and rotation operations in the McASP code.

With the change in fifo_level as described above, this won't be necessary.

Same comment applies here.
