ASoC: fsl_ssi: set fifo watermark to more reliable value

[ Upstream commit 4ee437fbf626b5ad756889d8bc0fcead3d66dde7 ]

The fsl_ssi fifo watermark is by default set to 2 free spaces (i.e.
activate DMA on FIFO when only 2 spaces are left.)  This means the
DMA must service the fifo within 2 audio samples, which is just not
enough time  for many use cases with high data rate.  In many
configurations the audio channel slips (causing l/r swap in stereo
configurations, or channel slipping in multi-channel configurations).

This patch gives more breathing room and allows the SSI to operate
reliably by changing the fifio refill watermark to 8.

There is no change in behavior for older chips (with an 8-deep fifo).
Only the newer chips with a 15-deep fifo get the new behavior. I
suspect a new fifo depth setting could be optimized on the older
chips too, but I have not tested.
