AFAICT this isn't a result of the code unification but rather is a case
of the code unification mirroring exactly the pre-merge state.  It's all
pre-git but my best guess would be that the ASoC version was done before
the DMA API was introduced - I expect the ASoC variant ought to be
updated to use the DMA API but I've not looked closely enough to be
certain.
