cyclic DMA is only used by audio which needs DMA to be started without a
delay.
If the DMA for audio is started using the tasklet we experience random
channel switch (to be more precise: channel shift).

Hi Vinod,
Would it be possible to send this patch for 3.9. The channel shift (or switch)
issue in audio has been noticed recently and it turns out that it has been
present since 3.7 kernel.
It would be great if 3.9 kernel could work correctly out of box...
Changes since RFCv2:
- added Acked-by from Santosh and Russell
Thank you,
Peter
