commit 28e96c1693ec1cdc963807611f8b5ad400431e82 upstream.
The commit c02f77d32d2c ("ALSA: hda - Workaround for crackled sound on
AMD controller (1022:1457)") introduced a few workarounds for the
recent AMD HD-audio controller, and one of them is the forced BATCH
PCM mode so that PulseAudio avoids the timer-based scheduling. This
was thought to cover for some badly working applications, but this
actually worsens for more others. In total, this wasn't a good idea
to enforce it.
This is a partial revert of the commit above for dropping the PCM
BATCH enforcement part to recover from the regression again.
