This patch works fine on DM644x which has McBSP but breaks audio on OMAP L138
(as you had mentioned) which has McASP. Ideally McBSP/McASP should start after
EDMA is started. If not then this patch clears the EDMA event which is actually
set by McBSP/McASP. As this patch is working fine on DM644x, I think there is
some issue in the audio driver which needs to be debugged.
