dmaengine: make clients responsible for managing channels
The current implementation assumes that a channel will only be used by one
client at a time. In order to enable channel sharing the dmaengine core is
changed to a model where clients subscribe to channel-available-events.
Instead of tracking how many channels a client wants and how many it has
received the core just broadcasts the available channels and lets the
clients optionally take a reference. The core learns about the clients'
needs at dma_event_callback time.
In support of multiple operation types, clients can specify a capability
mask to only be notified of channels that satisfy a certain set of
capabilities.
Changelog:
* removed DMA_TX_ARRAY_INIT, no longer needed
* dma_client_chan_free -> dma_chan_release: switch to global reference
counting only at device unregistration time, before it was also happening
at client unregistration time
* clients now return dma_state_client to dmaengine (ack, dup, nak)
* checkpatch.pl fixes
* fixup merge with git-ioat
