[PATCH v2 0/4] Add APIs to request TX/RX DMA channels by ID

[Siddharth Vadapalli <s-vadapalli@ti.com>]

The existing APIs for requesting TX and RX DMA channels rely on parsing
a device-tree node to obtain the Channel/Thread IDs from their names.
However, it is possible to know the thread IDs by alternative means such
as being informed by Firmware on a remote core via RPMsg regarding the
allocated TX/RX DMA channel IDs. In such cases, the driver can be probed
by non device-tree methods such as RPMsg-bus, due to which it is not
necessary that the device using the DMA has a device-tree node
corresponding to it. Thus, add APIs to enable the driver to make use of
the existing DMA APIs even when there's no device-tree node.

Additionally, since the name of the device for the remote RX channel is
being set purely on the basis of the RX channel ID itself, it can result
in duplicate names when multiple flows are used on the same channel.
Avoid name duplication by including the flow in the name.

Series is based on linux-next tagged next-20231212.

v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231114083906.3143548-1-s-vadapalli@ti.com/
Changes since v1:
- Rebased series on linux-next tagged next-20231212.
- Updated commit messages with details regarding the use-case for which
  the newly added APIs will be required.
- Removed unnecessary return value check within
  "of_k3_udma_glue_parse_chn()" function in patch 1, since it will fall
  through to "out_put_spec" anyway.
- Removed unnecessary return value check within
  "of_k3_udma_glue_parse_chn_by_id()" function in patch 1, since it will
  fall through to "out_put_spec" anyway.
- Moved patch 4 of v1 series to patch 2 of current series.

RFC Series:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231111121555.2656760-1-s-vadapalli@ti.com/
Changes since RFC Series:
- Rebased patches 1, 2 and 3 on linux-next tagged next-20231114.
- Added patch 4 to the series.
