[alsa-devel] [PATCH v5] ASoC: omap-mcbsp: Add PM QoS support for McBSP to prevent glitches

We can get audio errors if hitting deeper idle states on omaps:

[alsa.c:230] error: Fatal problem with alsa output, error -5.
[audio.c:614] error: Error in writing audio (Input/output error?)!

This seems to happen with off mode idle enabled as power for the
whole SoC may get cut off between filling the McBSP fifo using DMA.
While active DMA blocks deeper idle states in hardware, McBSP
activity does not seem to do so.

Basing the QoS latency calculation on the FIFO size, threshold,
sample rate, and channels.

Based on the original patch by Tony Lindgren

Changes from v1:
* add calculations for latency per number of FIFO locations

Changes from v2:
* add missing mcbsp.h header change

Changes from v3:
* base the latency calculations on threshold, buffer size, sample
  rate, and channels

Changes from v4:
* using Peter Ujfalusi's suggestions for restoring a higher latency on
  audio stream completion, or if not applicable remove the QoS request
