Hi Peter, Mark,

Hello,

Changes since v2:
- As it has been discussed the no_wakeup parameter has been replaced with flags
   for the dmaengine APIs

Changes since v1:
- Support for pause/resume for OMAP audio via dmaengine
- dmaengine: support for NO_PERIOD_WAKEUP in cyclic mode
  - OMAP to keep supporting NO_PERIOD_WAKEUP for audio
  - Other plaforms can also try to enable this mode since we have now generic
    interface to do so.

This series will switch the OMAP audio to use dmaengine.
The final patch which does the switch was based on Russell King's earlier patch.

The first 10 patch is to prepare the OMAP audio drivers for a smooth change to
dmaengine:
- sDMA FRAME sync mode is removed and replaced with PACKET mode
- dai drivers no longer need to configure sDMA sync mode
- dai drivers does not need to specify the DMA word length - with the exception
   of the omap-hdmi driver which requires 32bit word length regardless of the
   audio format in use
- the McPDM driver used (to my surprise) hackish way of getting the DMA channel
   and address - via defines from some header files

After the conversion OMAP audio support should have the same features as before,
no regressions expected.

I have tested the series on:
- BeagleBoard (audio via McBSP):
  - aplay/arecord. In element mode and in threshold mode with different period
    sizes
  - mplayer -ao alsa: for direct ALSA access
  - mplayer -ao pulse: via PulseAudio to test NO_PERIOD_WAKEUP feature
- OMAP4 Blaze (audio via McPDM and DMIC)
  - aplay/arecord
  - mplayer -ao alsa: for direct ALSA access
  - mplayer -ao pulse: via PulseAudio to test NO_PERIOD_WAKEUP feature

The patches has been generated against:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/sound.git for-3.7

Janusz: Can you retest this series on OMAP1 to be sure I have not broken it?
Ricardo: Can you test the omap-hmdi if it is still working?

I tested these changes from Mark's for-3.7 branch. HDMI audio is working fine after applying patch 03. Such patch is missing in Mark's branch and this causes a build break with omap2plus_defconfig. Not sure if this is expected, Most likely not.
