[alsa-devel] [PATCH 07/18] DMA: edma: Use different eventq for cyclic channels

To improve latency with cyclic DMA operation it is preferred to
use different eventq/tc than the default which is used by all
other drivers (mmc, spi, i2c, etc).
When preparing the cyclic dma ask for non default queue for the
channel which is going to be used with cyclic mode.
