This patch adds DMA cyclic capability and Slave configuration.
DMA cyclic capability is only used for audio circular buffer.

Cyclic capability re-uses the requests that were submitted through
tx_submit().
It's possible because Cyclic capability uses same DMA configuration.
This pl330_tasklet_cyclic() makes the status of the done request into
'PREP'. 
And, re-submit it to PL330.
There are no deadlock because callback function just gathers transmit
position.
And Cyclic capability doesn't use 'list' for queue new requests.

Yes, You're right. the 'list' isn't used after device_free_chan_resources().
So, I release it to desc_pool by using 'list_splice_tail'

I will address your guide. Thanks

This code is for 'flush' operation that releases all of the pre-loaded
requests.
I uses 'list_splice_tail_init' for it instead of 'pl330_tasklet' that also
calls 'list_splice_tail_init'.

DMA_SLAVE_CONFIG is called the first time that DMA client driver requests
DMA channel.
