Thanks for investigating this - I forgot that currently VDMA and CS5520
host flags use the same bit (so it also needs to be fixed).

I'm going to send the following patch to Linus (please verify it):

From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@...il.com>
Subject: [PATCH] cs5520: disable VDMA

Disable Virtual DMA support for now (it causes system hangs).

Thanks to TAKADA Yoshihito for the help with debugging the problem.
