[RFC PATCH 00/13] DMA Engine support for AM33xx

This series adds DMA Engine support for AM33xx, which uses
an EDMA DMAC. The EDMA DMAC has been previously supported by only
a private API implementation (much like the situation with OMAP
DMA) found on the DaVinci family of SoCs.

There are a mind-boggling number of dependencies for this series:

	- Jon Hunter's OF DMA helpers series
	  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1461061/
	  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1461051/
	- Patch to address OF DMA helpers naming issues:
	  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1477921/
	- EDMA DMA Engine wrapper driver in linux-next
	  c2dde5f8f2095d7c623ff3565c1462e190272273
	- EDMA DMA Engine wrapper driver bug fix:
	  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/1474411/  
	- A huge number of patches in linux-next for AM33xx boot
	  (too numerous to list)

The approach taken is similar to how OMAP DMA is being converted to
DMA Engine support. With the functional EDMA private API already
existing in mach-davinci/dma.c, we first move that to an ARM common
area so it can be shared. Adding DT and runtime PM support to the
private EDMA API implementation allows it to run on AM33xx. AM33xx
*only* boots using DT so we leverage Jon's generic DT DMA helpers to
register EDMA DMAC with the of_dma framework and then add support
for calling the dma_request_slave_channel() API to both the mmc
and spi drivers.

What works? Well, with this series we now have MMC and SPI support
on AM33xx. The only caveat for MMC is that the mmc3 controller has
its events on the crossbar and is not usable right now.

This is tested on BeagleBone with a SPI framebuffer driver and SD
card.

After this series, the plan is to convert the last in-tree user
of the private EDMA API (davinci-pcm/mcasp) and then eliminate
the private EDMA API by folding its functionality into
drivers/dma/edma.c.

TODO:
	add AM33xx crossbar support to the private EDMA API
	(any EDMA events on the crossbar are not supported)
