Fabio Baltieri 7407048bec dmaengine: ste_dma40: add software lli support
This patch add support to manage LLI by SW for select phy channels.

There is a HW issue in certain controllers due to which on certain
occassions HW LLI cannot be used on some physical channels.  To avoid
the HW issue on a specific phy channel, the phy channel number can be
added to the list of soft_lli_channels and there after all the transfers
on that channel will use software LLI, for peripheral to memory
transfers.

SoftLLI introduces relink overhead, that could impact performace for
certain use cases.

This is based on a previous patch of Narayanan Gopalakrishnan.

Gerald Baeza 47db92f4a6 dmaengine: ste_dma40: physical channels number correction
DMAC_ICFG[0:2]=SCHNB only allows to count 'multiple of 4' physical
channels so it was ok with platforms having 8 channels but cannot be
used for next versions (with 10 or 14 channels).  This patch allows to
provide the number of physical channels for a DMA device via
platform_data, or still rely on SCHNB if platform_data announces 0
channel.

This moves the DMA40 platform data header from <plat/ste_dma40.h>
to <linux/platform_data/dma-ste-dma40.h> where is belongs.
