[RFC v3 1/7] dmaengine: Couple DMA channels to their physical DMA device

[Haavard Skinnemoen]

Set the 'parent' field of channel class devices to point to the
physical DMA device initialized by the DMA engine driver.

This allows drivers to use chan->dev.parent for syncing DMA buffers
and adds a 'device' symlink to the real device in
/sys/class/dma/dmaXchanY.
