I think what you're trying to describe here is that the device is
expecting to see all the left channels on the bus followed by all the
right channels?  This is the normal case for I2S TDM so no unusual
configuration is required in order to implement it.

I really don't think we should have Blackfin implementing a different
API here - it makes the TDM slot API much harder to use.  Instead we
should have a consistent API between all devices.  This may mean that we
need to extend the APIs here.
