[PATCH 0/2] ASoC: meson: aiu: fix playback issue for 24-bit mode

A patch series has recently been merged in c7852d2dcf66
("ASoC: meson: aiu: align I2S design to the AXG one") which unfortunately
introduces a bug in 24 bit mode playback which this new series resolves.

Among other things the previous series moved the content of what was once
called 'aiu_encoder_i2s_setup_desc' from 'aiu-encoder-i2s' to
'aiu-formatter-i2s'.
'aiu_encoder_i2s_setup_desc' was basically accomplishing two tasks:
- reset the i2s pipeline.
- configure number of channels and physical samples width.
Before being moved 'aiu_encoder_i2s_setup_desc' was called in the encoder
DAI 'hw_params()', whereas after the move it is called at trigger time
('aiu_encoder_i2s_trigger'->'gx_stream_start' -> 'gx_formatter_enable' ->
'aiu_formatter_i2s_prepare').

In parallel 'aiu-fifo-i2s' (DAI FE) already performs the very same reset
of the pipeline at trigger time in 'aiu_fifo_i2s_trigger' and then it
triggers the playback.

Since the DAI triggering order is the default one (FE before BE) this
means that the pipeline reset happens when the BE already did it and
started the playback. This cause the 24-bit playback mode to be
corrupted.

This series:
- re-orders operations so that 'aiu_formatter_i2s_prepare' is called after
  DAIs' prepare, but before triggering them.
- removes pipeline reset from 'aiu_formatter_i2s_prepare' because the
  very same operation is done by 'aiu-fifo-i2s' on trigger.

This series depends on c7852d2dcf66 ("ASoC: meson: aiu: align I2S design
to the AXG one") which exists in 'broonie/sound.git#for-7.3', but which
has not been mainlined yet.

Please apologize for the inconvenience.
