Subject: [PATCH v2 1/8] dmaengine: Add API to combine configuration and
 preparation (sg and single)

Previously, configuration and preparation required two separate calls. This
works well when configuration is done only once during initialization.

However, in cases where the burst length or source/destination address must
be adjusted for each transfer, calling two functions is verbose and
requires additional locking to ensure both steps complete atomically.

Add a new API dmaengine_prep_config_single() and dmaengine_prep_config_sg()
and callback device_prep_config_sg() that combines configuration and
preparation into a single operation. If the configuration argument is
passed as NULL, fall back to the existing implementation.

Add a new API dmaengine_prep_config_single_safe() and
dmaengine_prep_config_sg_safe() for re-entrancy, which require driver
implement callback device_prep_config_sg().

change in v2
- add () for function
- use short name device_prep_sg(), remove "slave" and "config". the 'slave'
is reduntant. after remove slave, the function name is difference existed
one, so remove _config suffix.
