I agree but it doesn't seems to be easy to enable and disable it
dynamically along with ASoC open() and close() functions as the
current clocks of SDMA get enabled when its channels are allocated
during the system boot-up via generic DMA bindings.

Maybe we can put in the issue_pending() and terminate_all() which
are regularly called along with ASoC trigger(), or just open it
permanently if the penalty of power efficiency is ignorable.
