This patch is based on one in the Xilinx kernel tree, "ASoc: xlnx: Make
buffer bytes multiple of period bytes" by Devarsh Thakkar. The same
issue exists in the mainline version of the driver. The original
patch description is as follows:
"The Xilinx Audio Formatter IP has a constraint on period
bytes to be multiple of 64. This leads to driver changing
the period size to suitable frames such that period bytes
are multiple of 64.
Now since period bytes and period size are updated but not
the buffer bytes, this may make the buffer bytes unaligned
and not multiple of period bytes.
When this happens we hear popping noise as while DMA is being
done the buffer bytes are not enough to complete DMA access
for last period of frame within the application buffer boundary.
To avoid this, align buffer bytes too as multiple of 64, and
set another constraint to always enforce number of periods as
integer. Now since, there is already a rule in alsa core
to enforce Buffer size = Number of Periods * Period Size
this automatically aligns buffer bytes as multiple of period
bytes."

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
