0575b4b83e ARM: mxc: Correct data alignment in headsmp.S for CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL
Directives such as .long and .word do not magically cause the
assembler location counter to become aligned in gas.  As a
result, using these directives in code sections can result in
misaligned data words when building a Thumb-2 kernel
(CONFIG_THUMB2_KERNEL).

This is a Bad Thing, since the ABI permits the compiler to
assume that fundamental types of word size or above are word-
aligned when accessing them from C.  If the data is not really
word-aligned, this can cause impaired performance and stray
alignment faults in some circumstances.

In general, the following rules should be applied when using
data word declaration directives inside code sections:

    * .quad and .double:
         .align 3

    * .long, .word, .single, .float:
         .align (or .align 2)

    * .short:
        No explicit alignment required, since Thumb-2
        instructions are always 2 or 4 bytes in size.
        immediately after an instruction.

8380222ec9 ASoC: Add a new imx-ssi sound driver
The old driver has the number of SSI units in the system hardcoded,
does not make use of the device model and works only on i.MX21/27.

This driver replaces it. It works in DMA mode on i.MX21/27 and using
an FIQ handler on other systems. It also supports AC97 mode of
the SSI units.
