41d5e59c12 dmaengine: add a release for dma class devices and dependent infrastructure
Resolves:
WARNING: at drivers/base/core.c:122 device_release+0x4d/0x52()
Device 'dma0chan0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed.

The dma_chan_dev object is introduced to gear-match sysfs kobject and
dmaengine channel lifetimes.  When a channel is removed access to the
sysfs entries return -ENODEV until the kobject can be released.

The bulk of the change is updates to existing code to handle the extra
layer of indirection between a dma_chan and its struct device.

aa1e6f1a38 dmaengine: kill struct dma_client and supporting infrastructure
All users have been converted to either the general-purpose allocator,
dma_find_channel, or dma_request_channel.

74465b4ff9 atmel-mci: convert to dma_request_channel and down-level dma_slave
dma_request_channel provides an exclusive channel, so we no longer need to
pass slave data through dmaengine.

6f49a57aa5 dmaengine: up-level reference counting to the module level
Simply, if a client wants any dmaengine channel then prevent all dmaengine
modules from being removed.  Once the clients are done re-enable module
removal.

Why?, beyond reducing complication:
1/ Tracking reference counts per-transaction in an efficient manner, as
   is currently done, requires a complicated scheme to avoid cache-line
   bouncing effects.
2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a
   dma-driver can be gracefully removed ahead of its user (net, md, or
   dma-slave)
3/ None of the in-tree dma-drivers talk to hot pluggable hardware, but
   if such an engine were built one day we still would not need to notify
   clients of remove events.  The driver can simply return NULL to a
   ->prep() request, something that is much easier for a client to handle.

7fe7b2f4ec dw_dmac: fix copy/paste bug in tasklet
The tasklet checks RAW.BLOCK twice, and does not check RAW.XFER. This is
obviously wrong, and could theoretically cause the driver to hang.

3bfb1d20b5 dmaengine: Driver for the Synopsys DesignWare DMA controller
This adds a driver for the Synopsys DesignWare DMA controller (aka
DMACA on AVR32 systems.) This DMA controller can be found integrated
on the AT32AP7000 chip and is primarily meant for peripheral DMA
transfer, but can also be used for memory-to-memory transfers.

This patch is based on a driver from David Brownell which was based on
an older version of the DMA Engine framework. It also implements the
proposed extensions to the DMA Engine API for slave DMA operations.

The dmatest client shows no problems, but there may still be room for
improvement performance-wise. DMA slave transfer performance is
definitely "good enough"; reading 100 MiB from an SD card running at ~20
MHz yields ~7.2 MiB/s average transfer rate.

Full documentation for this controller can be found in the Synopsys
DW AHB DMAC Databook:

http://www.synopsys.com/designware/docs/iip/DW_ahb_dmac/latest/doc/dw_ahb_dmac_db.pdf

The controller has lots of implementation options, so it's usually a
good idea to check the data sheet of the chip it's intergrated on as
well. The AT32AP7000 data sheet can be found here:

Changes since v4:
  * Use client_count instead of dma_chan_is_in_use()
  * Add missing include
  * Unmap buffers unless client told us not to

Changes since v3:
  * Update to latest DMA engine and DMA slave APIs
  * Embed the hw descriptor into the sw descriptor
  * Clean up and update MODULE_DESCRIPTION, copyright date, etc.

Changes since v2:
  * Dequeue all pending transfers in terminate_all()
  * Rename dw_dmac.h -> dw_dmac_regs.h
  * Define and use controller-specific dma_slave data
  * Fix up a few outdated comments
  * Define hardware registers as structs (doesn't generate better
    code, unfortunately, but it looks nicer.)
  * Get number of channels from platform_data instead of hardcoding it
    based on CONFIG_WHATEVER_CPU.
  * Give slave clients exclusive access to the channel
