Add a small API to configure McBSP smart idle modes to conserve power.

I'm sorry but I didn't get the point of this patch, as you didn't add any wider description why you need to export this feature.

Sorry, I thought this would obvious from the patch and description.

Why do you think mcbsp clients should be aware of these bit? Would it make sense to mask it behind other feature? like the threshold size for instance..

Why do you think it should be masked behind threshold ?
