[alsa-devel] [RFC 5/9] ASoC: fsl-ssi: Add offline_config flag

[Markus Pargmann]

imx50-ssi and later versions of this IP support online reconfiguration
of all registers. The reference manual does not list any registers that
can only be configured while the SSI unit is disabled. This patch
introduces the flag for later use.
