Hi,
I have noticed while switching the daVinci audio to dmaengine_pcm that the _3LE and _3BE support is not working correctly via dmaengine_pcm: In case of _3LE/_3BE formats the samples are stored in 3 consecutive bytes without padding it to 4 bytes. This means that the DMA needs to be able to support 3 bytes word length in order to read/write the samples from memory correctly. Originally the code treated 24 bits physical length samples as they were 32 bits which leads to corruption when playing or recording audio.
To fix the support for 3 bytes physical samples the dma driver also need to have support for such data arrangement. eDMA does have support for it in HW and the legacy davinci-pcm platform driver w/o dmaengine was able to support such formats.
First step is to add DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_3_BYTES to dma_slave_buswidth for engines and users to select 3 bytes as bus width.
Followed by: In snd_dmaengine_pcm_open() we should check the slave_caps of the dma if it supports DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_3_BYTES. Based on this information we initialize the runtime->hw.formats: if DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_3_BYTES is not supported or the slave_caps is not provided by the driver we mask out the 24 bits physical width sample formats so they will be not available for user space to pick. If the DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_3_BYTES is supported _3LE/_3BE formats will not be masked so later on they can be valid if both CPU and codec dai supports them.
