[PATCH v11 0/8] soc: aspeed: Add XDMA engine driver

This series adds a driver to control the Aspeed XDMA engine embedded in the
AST2500 and AST2600. The XDMA engine performs automatic DMA operations
over PCI-E between the Aspeed SOC (acting as a BMC) and a host processor.

Changes since v10:
 - Fix devicetree binding documentation
 - Add patches to enable the device on witherspoon and tacoma systems
 - Fix the driver to actually use the updated bindings
 - Remove the device managed memory in favor of manually allocating and freeing
   This adds considerable complexity to the probe function and requires the
   use of a kobject and associated release method, but it fixes the problem of
   the device context being deleted during an operation or with memory still
   mapped if the device is unbound from the driver
 - Remove the client kref system
 - Reset the device when a user closes a file handle with an on-going operation

Changes since v9:
 - Remove the kernel command queue
 - Use memcpy_toio instead to copy commands to the buffer
 - Free the client's genalloc'd memory in the release method
 - Switch the bindings documentation to yaml
 - Add patches to fix SCU interrupt controller include

Changes since v8:
 - Use DMA API to allocate memory from reserved region.
 - Fix the driver for the AST2500 by keeping the command queue in kernel
   memory and copying the whole buffer to the reserved memory area before
   starting the operation.
 - Add krefs to the client structure to prevent use-after-free.
 - Switch reset-names binding to "device", "root-complex"
