Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ALSA: SOC: DMA: increment buffer pointer atomically

From: Andreas Pape <apape@...adit-jv.com>

Setting pointer and afterwards check for wrap around leads
to the possibility of returning the inconsistent pointer position.
This patch increments buffer pointer atomically to avoid this issue.
