ALSA: hda - Fix playback noise with 24/32 bit sample size on BXT
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In BXT-P A0, HD-Audio DMA requests is later than expected,
and makes an audio stream sensitive to system latencies when
24/32 bits are playing.
Adjusting threshold of DMA fifo to force the DMA request
sooner to improve latency tolerance at the expense of power.

v2: move Intel specific code to hda_intel.c
