User space need to make sure that it is placing the data to the correct
channel. The McBSP/sDMA just see a stream of data in a memory.
McBSP do have TDM mode where you can have limited control over how the
channels are handled, but it still handle the data as stream and you can only
tell which slot it should use and which one to ignore. This TDM programming
mode is not implemented since we did not needed it so far and without a codec
it is kind of hard to test it (well, with a scope the channels can bee
observed but that would be all).
