Subject: [PATCH 1/5] dmaengine: Add hw_id to dma_slave_caps

Remote DMA users may need to map or otherwise correlate DMA resources on
a per-hardware-channel basis (e.g. DWC EP eDMA linked-list windows).
However, struct dma_chan does not expose a provider-defined hardware
channel identifier.

Add an optional dma_slave_caps.hw_id field to allow DMA engine drivers
to report a provider-specific hardware channel identifier to clients.
Initialize the field to -1 in dma_get_slave_caps() so drivers that do
not populate it continue to behave as before.
