The period size represents the size of the DMA descriptor. To ensure all DMA descriptors start from a well-aligned address, the period size must be divided by (sample size * maxburst), not just by maxburst. This adjustment allows for computing a higher maxburst value, thereby increasing the performance of the DMA transfer. Previously, snd_pcm_lib_period_bytes() returned 0 because the runtime HW parameters are computed after the hw_params() callbacks are used. To address this, we now use params_*() functions to compute the period size accurately. This change optimizes the DMA transfer performance by ensuring proper alignment and efficient use of maxburst values. [andrei.simion@microchip.com: Reword commit message and commit title.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
