Oh, I apologize I think I mixed the two code bases, for some reason I
thought that was the way it was handled in upstream too, that's why I
brought the issue here. I saw the same code used in PXA pcm code(the one
example using capture only drivers I found). And it worked like a charm,
thank your for suggestion.

Last time we did there was no support for Tegra's NAND and display
controllers(I was very excited to read about those DRM DC patches the
other day), but to switch to upstream code is definitely the plan.
