I don't understand why the FIFO alloc/free had to move from
startup()/shutdown() to probe()/remove(). This will prevent later
changes from making the connectivity between the AHUB FIFOs and I2S
modules more dynamic, which is kind of the whole point of the AHUB HW
module.

I agree with Lars-Peter's comment that it'd be better to enhance the
ASoC dmaengine support to allow the channel name to be specified so we
don't need to much custom code. And that should use "char *" not a
fixed-length array.
