I have developed a standard DMA engine ASoC driver tested on SA11x0 for
playback only (that's because SA11x0 requires playback DMA to be active
for capture to work, and ASoC doesn't support that.)

It uses the standard scatterlist DMA submission stuff, but could be
expanded to use the cyclic stuff if available.

I've not yet posted it, mainly because it's there by accident, along with
the rest of the SA11x0 Assabet stuff (it's part of my testing for the
SA11x0 DMA engine code.)
