[RFC PATCH 08/13] mmc: omap_hsmmc: limit max_segs with the EDMA DMAC

The EDMA DMAC has a hardware limitation that prevents supporting
scatter gather lists with any number of segments. Since the EDMA
DMA Engine driver sets the maximum segments to 16, we do the
same.

Note: this can be removed once the DMA Engine API supports an
API to query the DMAC's segment limitations.
