S3C: DMA: Add api driver for PL330
Latest Samsung SoCs have one or more PL330 as their DMACs. This patch implements the S3C DMA API for PL330 core driver. The design has been kept as generic as possible while keeping effort to add support for new SoCs to the minimum possible level. Some of the salient features of this driver are:- o Automatic scheduling of client requests onto DMAC if more than one DMAC can reach the peripheral. Factors, such as current load and number of exclusive but inactive peripherals that are supported by the DMAC, are used to decide suitability of a DMAC for a particular client. o CIRCULAR buffer option is supported. o The driver scales transparently with the number of DMACs and total peripherals in the platform, since all peripherals are added to the peripheral pool and DMACs to the controller pool. For most conservative use of memory, smallest driver size and best performance, we don't employ legacy data structures of the S3C DMA API. That should not have any affect since those data structures are completely invisible to the DMA clients.
