ASoC: meson: aiu-encoder-i2s: reflect bs quirk in hw constraints
    
This commit adds hw rules on CHANNELS and SAMPLE_BITS at startup so that
the bs-quirk restriction shows up during parameter refinement. The rules
are refined against the committed configuration of the opposite stream.

[Severity: Medium]
Is there a risk of a data race when reading other->channels and other->width
here?

If one application calls SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_REFINE on a substream, it will
execute this rule locklessly. Concurrently, if another application calls
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS or SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_FREE on the opposite
substream, it updates these fields sequentially without atomic protection:

sound/soc/meson/aiu-encoder-i2s.c:aiu_encoder_i2s_hw_free() {
    ...
    ts->channels = 0;
    ts->width = 0;
    ts->physical_width = 0;
    ...
}

Could this lead to a torn read where this rule sees an inconsistent state (for
example channels=8 but width=0), resulting in spurious configuration failures?
