Guennadi Liakhovetski 234f2df56f dma: improve section assignment in i.MX31 IPU DMA driver
The i.MX31 IPU DMA driver is a platform driver, but doesn't need hotplug, so we
can use __init and __exit function attributes.

Guennadi Liakhovetski 5296b56d1b i.MX31: Image Processing Unit DMA and IRQ drivers
i.MX3x SoCs contain an Image Processing Unit, consisting of a Control
Module (CM), Display Interface (DI), Synchronous Display Controller (SDC),
Asynchronous Display Controller (ADC), Image Converter (IC), Post-Filter
(PF), Camera Sensor Interface (CSI), and an Image DMA Controller (IDMAC).
CM contains, among other blocks, an Interrupt Generator (IG) and a Clock
and Reset Control Unit (CRCU). This driver serves IDMAC and IG. They are
supported over dmaengine and irq-chip APIs respectively.

IDMAC is a specialised DMA controller, its DMA channels cannot be used for
general-purpose operations, even though it might be possible to configure
a memory-to-memory channel for memcpy operation. This driver will not work
with generic dmaengine clients, clients, wishing to use it must use
respective wrapper structures, they also must specify which channels they
require, as channels are hard-wired to specific IPU functions.
