I discussed this with HW team. The issue is applicable to all Tegra chips.

Below is the striping formula referenced from HD audio spec.
  { ((num_channels * bits_per_sample) / number of SDOs) >= 8 }

The current issue is seen because Tegra HW has a problem with boundary
condition (= 8) for striping. The reason why it is not seen on
Tegra210/Tegra186 is because it uses max 2SDO lines. Max SDO lines is
read from GCAP register.

For the given stream (channels = 2, bps = 16);
ratio = (channels * bps) / NSDO = 32 / NSDO;

On Tegra30,      ratio = 32/4 = 8  (FAIL)
On Tegra210/186, ratio = 32/2 = 16 (PASS)
On Tegra194,     ratio = 32/4 = 8  (FAIL) ==> Earlier workaround was
applied for it

If Tegra210/186 is forced to use 4SDO, it fails there as well. So the
behavior is consistent across all these chips.

As per above explanation, it is fine to apply the workaround for
Tegra210/186 as well. So it simplifies things for all existing chips.
