EDMA requires the period size to be multiple of maxburst. Otherwise the
remaining bytes are not transferred and thus noise is produced.

We can handle this issue by adding a constraint on
SNDRV_PCM_HW_PARAM_PERIOD_SIZE to be multiple of tx/rx maxburst value.

I feel that PERIOD_SIZE could be used for some other cases than
being related to maxburst....

....so maybe the soc specific flag here could be something like
	bool use_edma;

What do you think?

I think your suggestion is a little bit better than what we have. But what if
in the future another DMA controler (not eDMA) will need the same constraint.

Wouldn't it be confusing?

The better part of using "edma" word, I felt, is to match this
"soc" word in the structure name.

That sounds like a valid point to me, I don't feel it'd happen
that often though. I'd be okay if you insist to keep yours :)
