[RFC 3/6] dmaengine: core: Introduce new, universal API to request a channel

The two API function can cover most, if not all current APIs used to
request a channel. With minimal effort dmaengine drivers, platforms and
dmaengine user drivers can be converted to use the two function.

struct dma_chan *dma_request_chan_by_mask(const dma_cap_mask_t *mask);

To request any channel matching with the requested capabilities, can be
used to request channel for memcpy, memset, xor, etc where no hardware
synchronization is needed.

struct dma_chan *dma_request_chan(struct device *dev, const char *name,
				  const dma_cap_mask_t *mask);
To request a slave channel. The mask parameter is optional and it is used
to check if the received channel's capabilities can satisfy the requested
mask. The dma_request_chan() will try to find the channel via DT, ACPI or
in case if the kernel booted in non DT/ACPI mode it will use a filter
lookup table and retrieves the RESOURCE_DMA from the requester's device.
This legacy mode needs changes in platform code, in dmaengine drivers and
finally the dmaengine user drivers can be converted:

RESOURCE_DMA needs to be added to the platform devices with names

For each dmaengine driver a string array listing the devices handled by the
given DMA driver:

static char *da8xx_edma0_devices[] = {
	"davinci-mcasp.0",
	"da830-mmc.0",
};

This information is going to be needed by the dmaengine driver, so
modification to the platform_data is needed, and the driver map should be
added to the pdata of the DMA driver:

da8xx_edma0_pdata.devnames = da8xx_edma0_devices;
da8xx_edma0_pdata.devcnt = ARRAY_SIZE(da8xx_edma0_devices);

The DMA driver then needs to convigure the needed device -> filter_fn
mapping before it registers with dma_async_device_register() :

if (info->devnames) {
	ecc->dma_slave.filter_map.devnames = info->devnames;
	ecc->dma_slave.filter_map.devcnt = info->devcnt;
	ecc->dma_slave.filter_map.filter_fn = edma_filter_fn;
}

When neither DT or ACPI lookup is available the dma_request_chan() will
try to match the requester's device name with the filter_map's list of
device names, when a match found it will requests the named DMA resource
using the requester's pdev and with the needed information available it
will try to get the channele with the dma_get_channel() internal function.
