dmaengine: pl08x: Add support for Faraday Technology FTDMAC020
After reading the specs for the Faraday Technology FTDMAC020 found in the Gemini platform, it becomes pretty evident that this is just another PL08x derivative, and should be handled like such by simply extending the existing PL08x driver to handle the quirks in this hardware. This patch makes memcpy work and has been tested on the Gemini and also regression-tested on the Nomadik NHK15 using dmatest with 10 threads per channel without a hinch for hours. I have not implemented slave DMA in those codepaths, because this device (Gemini) does not use slave DMA, and it seems like devices using FTDMAC020 for device DMA have a slightly different register layout so some real hardware is needed to proceed with this. I left some FIXME etc in the code for this. I had to do some refactorings of some helper functions, but I have not split those into separate patches because these refactorings do not make much sense without the increased complexity of handling the FTDMAC020. The DMA test would hang the platform on me on the Gemini after a few thousand iterations, however after turning of the caches the problem immediately disappeared and I could run the DMA engine with 10 threads pers physical channel for days in a row without a crash. I think there is no problem with the DMA driver: instead it is something fishy in the FA526 cache handling code that get pretty heavily exercised by the DMA engine and we need to go and fix that instead.
