ASoC: meson: aiu: fifo-spdif: soft reset the S/PDIF datapath on start/stop

This commit soft-resets the spdif datapath on start and stop to fix "machine 
gun noise" buffer underruns. It mirrors the downstream vendor driver's 
behavior by toggling the reset bits.

[Severity: High]
Does this code attempt to sleep in an atomic context?

The audio core executes the trigger callback atomically with
snd_pcm_stream_lock_irq() (unless the non-atomic flag is set by the machine
driver, which is not the case for gx-card.c).

However, snd_soc_component_write() unconditionally attempts to acquire a
sleeping mutex:

sound/soc/soc-component.c:snd_soc_component_write() {
    ...
    mutex_lock(&component->io_mutex);
    ...
}

Will this lead to a scheduling while atomic splat when starting the stream?

[Severity: High]
Can this write also trigger a sleeping in atomic context regression when
stopping the device?
