Subject: [PATCH v4 57/58] dmaengine: Add a warning for drivers not using the generic slave caps retrieval

For the slave caps retrieval to be really useful, most drivers need to
implement it.

Hence, we need to be slightly more aggressive, and trigger a warning at
registration time for drivers that don't fill their caps infos in order to
encourage them to implement it.
