Agreed, we need a better description.

I think it'd be better to use SZ constants instead of x * PAGE_SIZE.

With the auto-discover code we loose the S16_LE format.

If I understood the code in dmaengine_pcm_set_runtime_hwparams
correctly, this is because the DMA controller doesn't support
16bit transfers (only multiples of 32bit are allowed).

But since the I2S driver needs exactly 2 channels S16_LE actually
works fine (one 32bit transfer per frame).

Do you know of a better way to get S16_LE support? It could well
be that I missed something important...
