[PATCH 2/5] dmaengine: Add support for custom data mapping

[Abhishek Sahu]

The current DMA APIs only support SGL or data in generic format.
The QCA BAM DMA engine data cannot be mapped with already
available APIs due to following reasons.

1. The QCA BAM DMA engine uses custom flags which cannot be
   mapped with generic DMA engine flags.
2. Some peripheral driver like QCA QPIC NAND/LCD requires to
   set specific flags (Like NWD, EOT) for some of the descriptors
   in scatter gather list. The already available mapping APIs take
   flags parameter in API itself and there is no support for
   passing DMA specific flags for each SGL entry.

Now this patch adds the support for making the DMA descriptor from
custom data with new DMA mapping function prep_dma_custom_mapping.
The peripheral driver will pass the custom data in this function and
DMA engine driver will form the descriptor according to its own
logic. In future, this API can be used by any other DMA engine
drivers also which are unable to do DMA mapping with already
available APIâs.
