dmaengine: dma-jz4780: Use 4-word descriptors
The only information we use in the 8-word version of the hardware DMA descriptor that is not present in the 4-word version is the transfer type, aka. the ID of the source or recipient device. Since the transfer type will never change for a DMA channel in use, we can just set it once for all in the corresponding DMA register before starting any transfer. This has several benefits: * the driver will handle twice as many hardware DMA descriptors; * the driver is closer to support the JZ4740, which only supports 4-word hardware DMA descriptors; * the JZ4770 SoC needs the transfer type to be set in the corresponding DMA register anyway, even if 8-word descriptors are in use.
