[PATCH 1/8] dmaengine: Add API to combine configuration and preparation (sg and single)

Previously, configuration and preparation required two separate calls. This
works well when configuration is done only once during initialization.

However, in cases where the burst length or source/destination address must
be adjusted for each transfer, calling two functions is verbose and
requires additional locking to ensure both steps complete atomically.

Add a new API and callback device_prep_slave_sg_config that combines
configuration and preparation into a single operation. If the configuration
argument is passed as NULL, fall back to the existing implementation.
