From: Radhey Shyam Pandey <radhey.shyam.pandey at xilinx.com>

The axiethernet driver will use dmaengine framework to communicate
with dma controller IP instead of built-in dma programming sequence.

To request dma transmit and receive channels the axiethernet driver uses
generic dmas, dma-names properties.

Also to support the backward compatibility, use "dmas" property to
identify as it should use dmaengine framework or legacy
driver(built-in dma programming).

At this point it is recommended to use dmaengine framework but it's
optional. Once the solution is stable will make dmas as
required properties.
