[PATCH] [RFC] dmaengine: add fifo_size member

[Sameer Pujar]

During the DMA transfers from memory to I/O, it was observed that transfers
were inconsistent and resulted in glitches for audio playback. It happened
because fifo size on DMA did not match with slave channel configuration.

currently 'dma_slave_config' structure does not have a field for fifo size.
Hence the platform pcm driver cannot pass the fifo size as a slave_config.
Note that 'snd_dmaengine_dai_dma_data' structure has fifo_size field which
cannot be used to pass the size info. This patch introduces fifo_size field
and the same can be populated on slave side. Users can set required size
for slave peripheral (multiple channels can be independently running with
different fifo sizes) and the corresponding sizes are programmed through
dma_slave_config on DMA side.

Request for feedback/suggestions.
