In case of _3LE/_3BE formats the samples are stored in 3 consecutive bytes
without padding it to 4 bytes. This means that the DMA needs to be able to
support 3 bytes word length in order to read/write the samples from memory
correctly. Originally the code treated 24 bits physical length samples as
they were 32 bits which leads to corruption when playing or recording audio.

In snd_dmaengine_pcm_open() we should check the slave_caps of the dma if it
supports DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_3_BYTES. Based on this information we initialize
the runtime->hw.formats: if DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_3_BYTES is not supported or
the slave_caps is not provided by the driver we mask out the 24 bits
physical width sample formats so they will be not available for user space
to pick. If the DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_3_BYTES is supported _3LE/_3BE formats
will not be masked so later on they can be valid if both CPU and codec dai
supports them.

per discussion over the irc with Lars we could extend the masking to other
widths as well, which would look something like this:
u32 addr_widths = BIT(DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_1_BYTE) |
BIT(DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_2_BYTES) |
BIT(DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_4_BYTES);
...

Is this sounds better?

Sounds good. I think we can assume that DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_1_BYTE = 1, ...
So (addr_width & BIT(bits / 8)) should work fine and we do not need to duplicate the case branches.

The other thing is this should go into dmaengine_pcm_set_runtime_hwparams() where we also restrict the other hardware parameters based on the dmaengine capabilities.
