That does appear to be what's happening. I read the SFCSR before and
after you update the SOR register (SOR_RX_CLR), and in both cases the
rx buffer is full on the second enablement.
I can't seem to empty that buffer, either by using the SOR_RX_CLR or
by reading the SRX0 register. This is another one of those cases where
there you cannot modify the register (i.e. fifo or RX0) when RE is
disabled.
So, instead of clearing on enable, I'm clearing on shutdown and on
enable. I attempted using the SOR_RX_CLR, but it doesn't seem to work
on the MX6. Rather, I clear the fifo by reading all the words in a
loop, just before RE is disabled.

so far, with cursory testing, this patch, on top of your V2 patches
seems to work.

Subject: [PATCH] ASoC: fsl_ssi: Empty rx fifo on rx start and finish to
eliminate channel slips
Arnaud's previous patches mostly, but not completely work on the MX6.
The previous patch used the SOR_RX_CLR register, which doesn't
seem to work on the MX6. I guess it's undocumented for a reason.
This patch clears the RX fifo by using successive reads of the
SRX0 (and optionally SRX1) register until the SISR_RDR0/1 bit
is clear. This ensure's an empty fifo to start capturing with.
