OK, with those two patches plus this one, everything works on
Cardhu/Tegra30 using dmaengine. However, on Tegra20 DMA doesn't appear
to work. No audio is heard, and aplay eventually exits with the
following error message:

aplay: pcm_write:1603: write error: Input/output error

I believe this means that the DMA simply isn't operating.

I'll assume this is a Tegra20-specific issue in the dmaengine driver
itself, and hence not a problem with this patch, so I'll ack this patch.
