Subject: [ 08/27] dmaengine: omap-dma: Start DMA without delay for cyclic channels

3.8-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Ujfalusi <peter.ujfalusi@...com>

commit 765024697807ad1e1cac332aa891253ca4a339da upstream.

cyclic DMA is only used by audio which needs DMA to be started without a
delay.
If the DMA for audio is started using the tasklet we experience random
channel switch (to be more precise: channel shift).
