Hi,

I am not quite sure what bug you are trying to fix here. It isn't
described in commit message. Also I don't get why the residue=0 is
being removed. This will break the residue calculation...

Some time ago I posted a patch fixing sound issues on Odroid XU3.
Today Vinod applied it:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/vkoul/slave-dma.git/commit/?h=fixes&id=5dd90e5b91e0f5c925b12b132c7cd27538870256

I don't know if this is the same issue... can you describe exactly
what you are trying to fix, why and how?

Best regards,
Krzysztof
