The main issue I have with this patch is the continued confusion in variable naming between 'stream' and 'direction'. It's problematic on multiple platforms where a stream is typically identified by a DMA channel or ID of some sort. There's also the SoundWire 'stream' which has nothing to do with PCM devices. In the end people end-up drowning in too many 'streams', no one knows if the code refers to the data flow or the data direction.
Oh yes, so I'm not the only one :D, I also would very much prefer if there was 'direction' instead of 'stream'.
