This again...  copying in Peter for the sequencing discussion.  If we
need to do this I'm not convinced that bodging it in the driver is a
good idea, and especially not deferring it outside of the trigger
operation - for example on a suspend or pause we won't actually do a
shutdown() so the trigger will end up not happening which seems like it
may cause problems.  We'd probably be better off with the core knowing
what's going on and being able to reorder the callbacks although
designing an interface for that seems a bit annoying.

What is the design constraint here - can't we fix the design?  Or is it
a hardware design constraint (presumably broken signalling between the
I2S and DMA blocks)?
