[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] ALSA: Add SoC on-chip internal memory support for DMA buffer allocation

Now it's quite common that an SoC contains its on-chip internal memory.
By using this memory space for DMA buffer during audio playback/record,
we can shutdown the voltage for external memory to save power.

Thus add new DEV type with iram malloc()/free() and accordingly modify
current default mmap() for the iram circumstance.

Changelog
v1->v2:
 * Added of_node check
 * Dropped noops and unused physical addr in snd_free_dev_iram()
