This will break duplex operation if a second stream is opened when
a stream is already running as the channel position registers for
the second stream haven't been set up.

Note this code at the very beginning of hw_params:

        /*
         * If a stream is already enabled,
         * the registers are already set properly.
         */
        regmap_read(dev->i2s_regmap, BCM2835_I2S_CS_A_REG, &csreg);

        if (csreg & (BCM2835_I2S_TXON | BCM2835_I2S_RXON))
                return 0;

The reason for this check is that we can't change bcm2835 I2S registers
after I2S RX/TX has been enabled - the reason why is explained in the
datasheet:

Therefore we need to set up channel masks for both RX and TX before
any stream is started.

so long,
