These changes are required due to the kernel commit 07b7acb51d283d8469696c906b91f1882696a4d4 ("ASoC: rsnd: update pointer more accurate")
Issue is that snd_pcm_wait() goes back to waiting because the hw_ptr is not period aligned. Therefore snd_pcm_wait() will block for a longer time as required.
With these rcar driver changes the exact position of the dma is returned. During snd_pcm_start they read hw_ptr as reference, and this hw_ptr is now not period aligned, and is a little ahead over the period while it is read. Therefore when the avail is calculated during snd_pcm_wait(), it is missing the avail_min by a few frames.
An additional option hw_ptr_alignment is provided to dmix configuration, to allow the user to configure the slave application and hw pointer alignment at startup

+<code>hw_ptr_alignment</code> specifies slave application and hw pointer alignment +type. By default hw_ptr_alignment is auto. Below are the possible configurations : +- no : minimal latency with minimal frames dropped at startup. But wakeup of + application (return from snd_pcm_wait() or poll()) can take up to 2 * period. +- roundup : It is guaranteed that all frames will be played at startup. But the + latency will increase upto period-1 frames. +- rounddown : It is guaranteed that a wakeup will happen for each period and + frames can be written from application. But on startup upto period-1 frames + will be dropped. +- auto : Selects the best approach depending on the used period and buffer size. + If the application buffer size is < 2 * application period, "roundup" + will be selected to avoid under runs. If the slave_period is < 10ms we + could expect that there are low latency requirements. Therefore "rounddown" + will be chosen to avoid long wakeup times. Such wakeup delay could otherwise + end up with Xruns in case of a dependency to another sound device + (e.g. forwarding of microphone to speaker). Else "no" + will be chosen. + Note that the dmix plugin itself supports only a single configuration. That is, it supports only the fixed rate (default 48000), format (\c S16), channels (2), and period_time (125000).
