I was more thinking that the dmaengine_pcm.c which appears
to have its functions called from the ux500 ASoC driver should
do the calls to slave config to set up proper DMA characteristics
for the channel.

Maybe that part is in the MSP driver as you say, is that so?

IIRC there are also patches from Fabio to this stuff so I'm
a bit confused, but if the intention is to merge this through
ASoC with some other stuff, by all means:
