    ASoC: Intel: Sample Baytrail DSP DMA pointer only after each period · c83649e3

    This is for preparing suspend/resume support but can give also more
    safeguard against concurrent timestamp structure access between DSP firmware
    and host.
    
    Now DSP DMA pointer is sampled in each pcm pointer callback in
    sst_byt_pcm_pointer() but that is unneeded since DSP updates the timestamp
    period basis and can potentially be racy if sst_byt_pcm_pointer() is called
    when DSP is updating the timestamp.
    
    By taking DSP DMA pointer only after period elapsed IPC messages in
    byt_notify_pointer() and returning stored hw pointer in
    sst_byt_pcm_pointer() there is less risk for concurrent access.
    
    The same stored hw pointer can be also used in suspend/resume code for
    restarting the stream at the same position.
