This is hard to maintain because there is duplicated code.

The proper way to write a synchronized start/stop trigger is to collect
the needed register bits first, and then apply them at once to the
register; this works for both single and grouped usage:

trigger_start()
{
	unsigned int wc_bits = 0;

	snd_pcm_group_for_each_entry(s, substream) {
		if (s == playback_substream) {
			bits |= RME96_WCR_START;
			snd_pcm_trigger_done(s, substream);
		} else if (s == capture_substream) {
			bits |= RME96_WCR_START_2;
			snd_pcm_trigger_done(s, substream);
		}
	}
	rme96->wcreg |= bits;
	writel(rme96->wcreg, ...);
}

Are these whitespace changes deliberate?
