A slight difference of this chip from its previous siblings is that
it need a gentle "wake up" on every (full) DMA buffer completion to
avoid stalled interrupt handler.
Thanks to George Hartzell for permission on doing remote debugging.
Prime MFC candidate for 6.1-RELEASE. Please reply to this commit if
there are any objections (so I won't bug re@), since the changes
are too small and only specific to VT8251.

- [1] Make the driver friendly towards kernel without PREEMPTION.
Use msleep(9) instead of simple unlock-check_variable-lock mechanisme
since the later not really effective in non-preemptible kernel
(especially during codec detection routine).
- Free most driver resources in a sane manner to avoid possible
double free and panics especially during device detach and codec
detection failure.

The minimum / maximum speed was way too low / high!
minspeed = 2000 - is this for real ?
maxspeed = 767999 - is this for real ?????
Wrap everything into 8000 - 48000 boundary, just to be safe.

- Fix / reorganize attach routine. Device specific initialization must
be done after generic bus / DMA setup. At last, Virtual Channels
(vchan) works as expected.
Note: Recent commit / fix against this driver proves that major enhancements
on the generic sound layer does indeed help to expose flaw within
device specific code. There are probably other drivers that need to
be addressed as well.

that enabling busmastering would result in PCR bit ON after codec
reset.
While I'm here add DELAY(1) to codec access routine to give reasonable
time to codec operation. Without the delay, it would cause problems on
super-fast machines(> 2GHz). Also enable legacy audio for all 6300ESB,
82801[D-G]B chips. Previously, it enabled legacy audio for 82801DB(ICH4)
chip only.

erratic system slowdown (beaten to a pulp) and possible panic. This
issue has bugged me for as long as I could remember, until I
realized that it is possible for register base offset to hold zero
value which is definitely a "FALSE".

- From luigi:
The code to compute fragment sizes in the ich driver almost
invariably ends up using the full buffer available, no matter
how the user specifies fragment size and number.
With audio telephony (8khz, 16bit-stereo) and the 16k buffer
size this results in an unbearable 500ms delay.
This patch makes sure that we never use more than 4 fragments,
(i don't think we need more unless there are huge interrupt
servicing latencies), and obey to the requested fragment size,
so that latency is acceptable.
Based on this (and after much regression tests), I can conclude
that this driver works best with 2 fragments, thus solving various
long standing issues of ICH driver not capable to flush or play
short files perfectly.

distinct hardware playback channels. DAC configuration can be
accessed through kernel hint - hint.pcm.<unit>.dac="val" with
following possible values:
0 = Enable both DACs (default)
1 = Enable single DAC (DAC1)
2 = Enable single DAC (DAC2)
3 = Enable both DACs, swap position (DAC2 comes first instead
of DAC1)
Special case for ES1370:
Unlike ES1371,2,3/CT5880, volume for each DAC 1 and 2 can be
controlled indepedently (synth for DAC1, pcm for DAC2). It is
possible that user will confuse by this behaviour, since both
DACs are enabled by default. Thus, provide a knob through sysctl
hw.snd.pcm<unit>.single_pcm_mixer:
0 = each DACs will be controlled separately (synth/pcm).
1 = combine both DACs volume mixer controller into a single
"pcm" (default)
As a side note, fixed rate operation (provided by previous
commit) is not a mandatory if the configuration space does not
involve DAC2 (perhaps disabled by user through the above kernel
hint). Unlike DAC2, DAC1 has its own register / control space,
not affected by the speed settings of ADC.

- Don't keep the SPDIF state in the driver private struct since it
can be overriden by hand with pciconf(8), query it when needed instead.
Regarding the locking I let Ariff explain it himself:
---snip---
About the locking, that is what I'm intended to do since the beginning.
The reason I'm not putting that along since my first patchset was
because several people especially from amd46 camp reported that it cause
lots of LORs, which is weird considering that I've never encounter such
in a pretty much strict locking environment (i386). However, since our
previous discussion with Pyun YongHyeon about strict locking, I've
decided to bring it back for all the affected drivers, not just for
es137x. It turns out that the root of the problem was within dsp.c
during device open, which has been fixed since dsp.c revision 1.84.

* Add kernel hint option to disable DXS channels entirely. Report
from several skype users / Pav Lucistnik indicate that disabling
DXS may fix lots of pop / crackling noise. To disable DXS add
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_disabled="1" to /boot/device.hints.
Further investigation of the issues regarding DXS showed, that
the problem is in another (more generic) place, but until the
right fix is tested/reviewed this may help a little bit.
Added sysctl's to aid testing/debugging:
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_disabled=X - Disable / Enable DXS channels entirely
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_channels=X - Limit DXS channels up to X
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_sgd_channels=X - Limit SGD channels up to X
hint.pcm.<unit>.via_dxs_src=X - Enable / Disable DXS sample rate
converter.

especially for CT4730 / EV1938 chip, causing misconfigured mixer
(David Xu), crippled after power cycle (Kevin Oberman). Fixed.
* Incorporate locking/spdif patches from Jon Noack / matk. Not all
es137x can really do spdif, clean it up a bit to only let few capable
chip. This adds a "hw.snd.pcm<unit>.spdif_enabled" sysctl until
a more generic way of handling this from userland (by an ordinary
user) is designed/implemented.
* Convert all bus_space_(read|write) to use es_rd/es_wr, simmilar
with other drivers.
* Add tunable hw.snd.pcm<unit>.latency_timer sysctl to toggle pci
latency timer value on the fly. Much noise / pop / crackling
issues can be solved by increasing its value. Other people have
pointed out to use pciconf instead, but this is just an added
value specific for CT4730/EV1938.
* Remove es137x specific debug sysctl/code.
Several PRs can now be closed.
