This is a limitation of the DTE firmware that normally would result in dropped

drop it.

The driver will now automatically reload the firmware when there are no open
channels if the firmware reports a fatal error. If the firmware reports an
error, but it was not fatal, it will leave things running and try to reload when
all channels are shut down. The driver will also halt channel processing and
reload the firmware if a channel ever failed to be created.
The thought is that if the DTE reports a non-fatal error, I cannot be certain
what the state is, and it should be reset when possible without impacting
otherwise functioning card. If there are problems, presumably all users would
hang up and the driver will then reload the firmware.
If the error is fatal, then all processing is halted to encourage everyone to
hang up. The card is probably not working at this point anyway, so there is no
point in trying to communicate with it.
Also included in this change is a compile-time selectable debug sysfs attribute
that will allow forcing an alert condition for testing the recovery.

If the host system sends to many packets to the DTE to process, the on-card
memory can be exhausted which will result in an out of memory alert. In commit
2ac2338247, the driver will halt all communication
with the card and request a reload if any alert is received.
Now the driver will silently drop any "burst" traffic that was sent to the
transcoder as opposed to expecting the firmware to do it. There is currently a
limit of 640 samples (80ms of audio) in flight to the firmware at any one time
allowed.

When switching to polling mode it was possible that we would mask off the
receive complete interrupt until the next timer fired. Now go ahead and handle
anything we know how to handle regardless of the current mask.
Also, no need to update the reg local anymore since it isn't used to ack any
interrupts. We now always ack all the interrupts first and inspect them all.

This patch does a couple of things. It adds a new DEBUG mode where packet
statistics are printed when channels are closed which can be used to track where
packets might be lost in the transcoding chain.
This patch will also print to the kernel log if the AN983 has detected any
errored received packets. Problems of this type are typically system problems,
like when the card is having trouble DMAing packets.

Even if it is duplicated or we don't have an outbound message waiting, we should
ack it so that the firmware does not keep trying to send it to the host.
Otherwise the firmware could get into situations where it was constantly
retrying to send packets for which it did not receive our previous ACK and
exhaust memory.
I was only seeing this on platforms were packets were going missing in the
stream, increasing the probability that the driver would miss early responses.
