[PATCH] ASoC: Intel: Atom: use hardware counter to update hw_ptr

[Brent Lu]

The ring buffer counter runs faster than hardware counter if the
period size in hw_param is larger than 240. Although the differce is
not much (around 2k frames), it causes false underrun in CRAS
sometimes because it's using 256 frames as period size in hw_param.
Using the hardware counter could provide precise hw_ptr to user space
and avoid the false underrun in CRAS.
