A possible regression to a SW which is using McBSP2 on OMAP3.
There many of those boards.

The threshold based transfer will cause that omap_pcm_pointer will
loose a bit its accuracy. Probably irrelevant but still better to play
safe at least over one kernel release before making it default.

Return value prints from omap_pcm_pointer while playing
"aplay -f dat /dev/zero"

element:
614
669
691
712
734
755

threshold:
512
512
512
1024
1024
1536
