[PATCH 2/3] dmaengine: add support for DMA multiplexer DT nodes

If a slave can use any of several DMA controllers on the system, multiple
DMA descriptors can be listed in its "dmas" DT property with the same
channel name and different DMA controller phandles. However, if multiple
such slaves can use any of a set of DMA controllers on the system, listing
them all in each slave's "dmas" property becomes counterproductive. This
patch adds support for a "dma-mux" DT node, whose sole purpose is to group
such DMA controller DT nodes. Slaves can then specify the group's phandle
in their "dmas" property. DMA controllers, belonging to the same group
must have the same #dma-cells number and use the same slave IDs.

+* DMA multiplexer
+
+Several DMA controllers with the same #dma-cells number and the same request
+line IDs can be grouped under a DMA multiplexer super-node, if slaves can use
+DMA channels on any of them.
+
+Required property:
+- compatible:		Must include "dma-mux".
+
+Some standard optional properties can be helpful:
+
+Optional properties:
+- compatible:		You will probably also want to include compatibility
+			with "simple-bus" to automatically create platform
+			devices from subnodes.
+- ranges:		Map DMA controller memory areas in the parent address
+			space.
+- #address-cells:	Number of address cells in case automatic propagation
+			with the help of "ranges" doesn't work.
+- #size-cells:		Number of size cells.
+
+Example:
+
+	dmac: dma-mux {
+		compatible = "simple-bus", "dma-mux";
+		ranges;
+
+		dma0: dma at 10000000 {
+			#dma-cells = <1>;
+			...
+		};
+
+		dma1: dma at 20000000 {
+			#dma-cells = <1>;
+			...
+		};
+	};
+
+	mmc0: mmc at 30000000 {
+			dmas = <&dmac 1
+				&dmac 2>;
+			dma-names = "tx", "rx";
+			...
+	};
