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);
To request a slave channel. 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 needed information from
the dma_slave_map provided by the DMA drivers.
This legacy mode needs changes in platform code, in dmaengine drivers and
finally the dmaengine user drivers can be converted:

For each dmaengine driver an array of DMA device, slave and the parameter
for the filter function needs to be added:

static const struct dma_slave_map da830_edma_map[] = {
	{ "davinci-mcasp.0", "rx", EDMA_FILTER_PARAM(0, 0) },
	{ "davinci-mcasp.0", "tx", EDMA_FILTER_PARAM(0, 1) },
	{ "davinci-mcasp.1", "rx", EDMA_FILTER_PARAM(0, 2) },
	{ "davinci-mcasp.1", "tx", EDMA_FILTER_PARAM(0, 3) },
	{ "davinci-mcasp.2", "rx", EDMA_FILTER_PARAM(0, 4) },
	{ "davinci-mcasp.2", "tx", EDMA_FILTER_PARAM(0, 5) },
	{ "spi_davinci.0", "rx", EDMA_FILTER_PARAM(0, 14) },
	{ "spi_davinci.0", "tx", EDMA_FILTER_PARAM(0, 15) },
	{ "da830-mmc.0", "rx", EDMA_FILTER_PARAM(0, 16) },
	{ "da830-mmc.0", "tx", EDMA_FILTER_PARAM(0, 17) },
	{ "spi_davinci.1", "rx", EDMA_FILTER_PARAM(0, 18) },
	{ "spi_davinci.1", "tx", EDMA_FILTER_PARAM(0, 19) },
};

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.slave_map = da830_edma_map;
da8xx_edma0_pdata.slavecnt = ARRAY_SIZE(da830_edma_map);

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

ecc->dma_slave.filter_map.map = info->slave_map;
ecc->dma_slave.filter_map.mapcnt = info->slavecnt;
ecc->dma_slave.filter_map.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 use the information from the
dma_slave_map to get the channel with the dma_get_channel() internal
function.
