Rewrite the mpc5200 audio DMA code to support both I2S and AC97. Make it more robust.
Why is it more robust?
I've implemented retries for when the AC97 hardware doesn't reset on first try. About 10% of the time both the Efika and pcm030 AC97 codecs don't reset on first try and need to be poked multiple times. Failure is indicated by not having the link clock start ticking. Every once in a while even five pokes won't get the link started and I have to power cycle.
I don't have an oscilloscope, after I get these basic drivers in maybe someone can put a scope on this and figure out why reset is failing. I've read the various datasheets and I believe my reset pulses have the correct timings.
That's good to know. In fact, I think a summary of this should go into the patch description.
