The default value of the PERIOD_LEN register is 0 and results in axi-i2s keeping TLAST always asserted in its AXI Stream output.
When the AXI Stream is sent to a Xilinx AXI-DMA, this results in the DMA generating an interrupt flood and ALSA produce a corrupted recording. This is because AXI-DMA raises an interrupt whenever TLAST is active.
Fix by setting the PERIOD_LEN register as soon as the period is known. This way TLAST is emitted once per period, and the DMA raises interrupts correctly.
The patch looks OK. But I'd prefer not to merge it if possible.
We've done some early experiments with the Xilinx AXI-DMA, but it turned out to be to unreliable and we've abandoned support for it. One of the more critical issues was that you can't abort a DMA transfer. That means when audio capture is stopped the DMA will halt, but not complete the current transfer. Then when the next audio capture start the DMA will continue with the previous transfer. The observed effect of this was that the system would just crash randomly (Presumably due to memory corruption).
Have you considered using the ADI AXI-DMAC? That should work just fine.
