There are some drivers that predate the availibility of the dmaengine framework.
In case, you develop a new ASoC framework, all previous ASoC drivers should be adopted to the framework by yourself, don't you ? Because a new developer must be confused by this.
This is exactly what Lars-Peter did, he updated all the drivers that used cyclic mode to use the framework. Drivers using non-cyclic mode weren't updated as there is some additional work needed in the framework.
That said, you don't always want to do this - depending on the change involved it's sometimes simpler and easier to move things over piecemeal unless there's an actual issue being created by the lack of the new firmware.
