[PATCH 3/3] ASoC: omap-mcbsp: make minimum period size larger than FIFO

[Grazvydas Ignotas <notasas@gmail.com>]

With a program operating in minimum sized periods, first write
will cause a transfer that will fill mcbsp FIFO quickly, and there
will be no more data to DMA before program manages to do another
write. As the core considers this as underflow condition, we may
get many underflows at the start.
Increase minimum period size by half to deal with this problem.
