ASoC: meson: add audin FIFO driver

Add support for the frontend DAI of the capture interface which is in
charge of receiving decoded data from "audin-formatter-i2s" and move them
to an internal FIFO before they are block-transferred to RAM.

[Severity: High]
Can this call into a sleeping function from atomic and hardirq contexts?

The audin_fifo_pos() function calls snd_soc_component_read(), which
explicitly acquires a sleeping mutex. However, this is called by
audin_fifo_timer_cb() (an hrtimer callback executing in hardirq context)
and by audin_fifo_component_pointer() (an ALSA PCM pointer callback that
executes while holding a spinlock).

Acquiring a sleeping lock from either of these contexts can trigger a
kernel panic during audio capture.
