[PATCH v3 01/11] dmaengine: Add API function dmaengine_prep_slave_dma_array()

[Paul Cercueil <paul@crapouillou.net>]

This function can be used to initiate a scatter-gather DMA transfer
where the DMA addresses and lengths are located inside arrays.

The major difference with dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() is that it supports
specifying the lengths of each DMA transfer; as trying to override the
length of the transfer with dmaengine_prep_slave_sg() is a very tedious
process. The introduction of a new API function is also justified by the
fact that scatterlists are on their way out.
