Ok, good to know.
To make the original driver work stable, I had to patch the omap-alsa
framework to restore the original way that lack of dma chaining
problem had been solved in the original patch (see below), so maybe
there is a similiar issue in the currect ASoC McBSP framework?
Is the older implementation working at commit
d8376cc482b241701f7606c81ad578b90853e175 in linux-omap, i.e. last
commit before their removal?
What I see at quick look from the older implementation that it is doing
somewhat similar way the DMA transfer and workaround for 1510 than
current ASoC except that now the DMA parameters are not reprogrammed
between the restarted transfers. I don't know if 1510 requires it?
My asoc based patch is also very generic and contains no more that
the same two ams_delta_latch2_write() hardware related operations,
called from inside snd_soc_dai_link.ops.startup() and
snd_soc_dai_link.ops.shutdown() callback functions:
One thing worth to try would be try to use exactly same McBSP registers
for omap_mcbsp_config in omap_mcbsp_dai_hw_params than used before for
ams delta.
Sorry, have to cut my answer now here. I'll get back tomorrow.
