[PATCH 8/8] ASoC: SOF: Intel: add .ack support for HDaudio platforms

From: Ranjani Sridharan <ranjani.sridharan at linux.intel.com>

When we disable rewinds, then the .ack can be used to program SPIB
with the application pointer, which allows the HDaudio DMA to save
power by opportunistically bursting data transfers when the path to
memory is enabled (and conversely to shut it down when there are no
transfer requests).

The SPIB register can only be programmed with incremental values with
wrap-around after the DMA RUN bits are set. The hdac stream structure
is extended to keep track of the previous appl_ptr, and compared with
the suggested value. When a rewind is detected, a negative error code
is returned and the ALSA core will restore the old value in
pcm_lib_apply_appl_ptr().

Rewinds are only used by PulseAudio. If rewinds are disabled by
mistake in a distribution where PulseAudio is used, the user may hear
volume changes and notification with a delay, depending on the size of
the ring buffer and latency constraints. Practical experiments with
Ubuntu default settings did not show any audible issues.
