Subject: [PATCH 1/3] DMAENGINE: generic slave channel control v2

This adds an interface to the DMAengine to make it possible to
reconfigure a slave channel at runtime. We add a few foreseen
config parameters to the passed struct, with a void * pointer
for custom per-device or per-platform runtime slave data.

Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@...ricsson.com>

This version was revised after discussion, it splits the control
arguments in source/destination pairs to prepare for (among other
things) device to device transfers.

+ * @private_config: if you need to pass in specialized configuration
+ * at runtime, apart from the generic things supported in this
+ * struct, you provide it in this pointer and dereference it inside
+ * your dmaengine driver to get the proper configuration bits out.
+ *
+ * This struct is passed in as configuration data to a DMA engine
+ * in order to set up a certain channel for DMA transport at runtime.
+ * The DMA device/engine has to provide support for an additional
+ * command in the channel config interface, DMA_SLAVE_CONFIG
+ * and this struct will then be passed in as an argument to the
+ * DMA engine device_control() function.
+ *
+ * The rationale for adding configuration information to this struct
+ * is as follows: if it is likely that most DMA slave controllers in
+ * the world will support the configuration option, then make it
+ * generic. If not: if it is fixed so that it be sent in static from
+ * the platform data, then prefer to do that. Else, if it is neither
+ * fixed at runtime, nor generic enough (such as bus mastership on
+ * some CPU family and whatnot) then pass it in the private_config
+ * member and dereference it to some per-device struct in your driver.
