fsldma: improved DMA_SLAVE support
Now that the generic DMAEngine API has support for scatterlist to
scatterlist copying, the device_prep_slave_sg() portion of the
DMA_SLAVE API is no longer necessary and has been removed.
However, the device_control() portion of the DMA_SLAVE API is still
useful to control device specific parameters, such as externally
controlled DMA transfers and maximum burst length.
A special dma_ctrl_cmd has been added to enable externally controlled
DMA transfers. This is currently specific to the Freescale DMA
controller, but can easily be made generic when another user is found.
