[0/4] ASoC: meson: tdm fixes

Message

This patchset fixes 2 problems on TDM which both find a solution
by properly implementing the .trigger() callback for the TDM backend.

ATM, enabling the TDM formatters is done by the .prepare() callback
because handling the formatter is slow due to necessary calls to CCF.

The first problem affects the TDMIN. Because .prepare() is called on DPCM
backend first, the formatter are started before the FIFOs and this may
cause a random channel shifts if the TDMIN use multiple lanes with more
than 2 slots per lanes. Using trigger() allows to set the FE/BE order,
solving the problem.

There has already been an attempt to fix this 3y ago [1] and reverted [2]
It triggered a 'sleep in irq' error on the period IRQ. The solution is
to just use the bottom half of threaded IRQ. This is patch #1. Patch #2
and #3 remain mostly the same as 3y ago.

For TDMOUT, the problem is on pause. ATM pause only stops the FIFO and
the TDMOUT just starves. When it does, it will actually repeat the last
sample continuously. Depending on the platform, if there is no high-pass
filter on the analog path, this may translate to a constant position of
the speaker membrane. There is no audible glitch but it may damage the
speaker coil.

Properly stopping the TDMOUT in pause solves the problem. There is
behaviour change associated with that fix. Clocks used to be continuous
on pause because of the problem above. They will now be gated on pause by
default, as they should. The last change introduce the proper support for
continuous clocks, if needed.

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
