[PATCH 06/10] MXS-DMA : add more flags for MXS-DMA

thanks a lot.
I will reuse the dma_ctrl_flags in the next version.

Frankly speaking, the APBH-DMA is more coupled with the GPMI  then any 
other modules.
In the MX6Q, the GPMI is the ONLY user of APBH-DMA.
You even can see the NAND_LOCK bit in the DMA command structure which is 
only used by the GPMI
NAND controller,.


To Shawn & Wolfram:
    thanks very much for your comments.
