ASoC: cirrus: i2s: IRQ-based stream watchdog

I2S controller on EP93xx seems to have undocumented HW issue. According to
"EP93xx User’s Guide", controller can handle underflow and either transmit
last sample or zeroes in such case until FIFO is filled again. In reality
undeflow conditions seem to confuse internal state machine from time to
time and the whole stream gets shifted by one byte (as captured by logic
analyser on the I2S outputs). One could only hear noise instead of original
stream and this continues until the FIFO is disabled and enabled again.

Work this around by watching underflow interrupt and resetting I2S TX
channel + fill FIFO with zero samples until DMA catches up again. This is
a nasty workaround, but it works. Hence, Kconfig option to disable it in
case of problems.

+	  I2S controller on EP93xx seems to have undocumented HW issue.
+	  Underflow of internal I2S controller FIFO could confuse the
+	  state machine and the whole stream can be shifted by one byte
+	  until I2S is disabled. This option enables IRQ based watchdog
+	  which disables and re-enables I2S in case of underflow and
+	  fills FIFO with zeroes.
+
+	  If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer Y.
