[PATCH 3/3] ALSA: hda/tegra: Add 100us dma stop delay

Tegra HDA has audio data buffer for upto tens of frames, this buffer
can help to avoid underflow. HW will keep issuing new data fetch
request when buffers are not full and current BDL is not done. When SW
disable DMA RUN bit for a stream, HW can't cancel the already issued data
fetch request and hence it can't stop DMA. HW has to wait for all issued
data fetch request get data returned before it stops DMA.

This HW behavior is not in sync with HDA spec which says DMA RUN bit
should be cleared within 1 audio frame. For Tegra, DMA RUN bit was
active for more than one audio frame, due to this the timeout in
snd_hdac_stream_sync function is not helping. When Stream reset set
and clear happens during DMA RUN bit active state it results in Memory
Decode error.

Unfortunately, there is no way to detect when these data accesses have
completed, but testing has shown that a 100us delay between Stream reset
set and clear operation for Tegra avoids the memory decode error.
Therefore, adding a 100us dma stop delay.
