[PATCH 10/10] iio: dac: add mcf54415 DAC

From: Angelo Dureghello <adureghello at baylibre.com>

Add basic version of mcf54415 DAC driver. DAC is embedded in the cpu and
DAC configuration registers are mapped in the internal IO address space.

The DAC accepts a 12-bit digital signal and creates a monotonic 12-bit
analog output varying from ~DAC_VREFL to ~DAC_VREFH. The DAC module
consists of a conversion unit, an output amplifier, and the associated
digital control blocks. DAC_VREFL and DAC_VREFH defaults respectivley to
0 and 0xfff.

This initial version of the driver is minimalistic, "output raw" only, to
be extended in the future. DMA and external sync are disabled, default mode
is high speed, default format is right-justified 12bit on 16bit word.

Basic tests done on stmark2 mcf54415-based board, voltage check on DAC0:

/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0 # ls
name                 out_voltage_raw      subsystem
out_conversion_mode  out_voltage_scale    uevent

/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0 # cat name
mcf54415_dac.0

/sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device0 #

echo 4095 > out_voltage_raw     => voltage abt 3.3V by oscilloscope
echo 4096 > out_voltage_raw     => roll over to 0V
echo 0 > out_voltage_raw        => voltage is 0V
echo 2048 > out_voltage_raw     => voltage is abt 1.7V, mid scale

Same behavior for /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device1.

Generated a sine wave by shell script, sine shape is good.
