The DMA engine slave capabilities advertise the supported source and
destination bus widths through src_addr_widths / dst_addr_widths. These
are plain u32 bitmasks where a set bit's position equals the
corresponding enum dma_slave_buswidth value, e.g.
DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_4_BYTES sets bit 4.

The consequence is that widths of 32 bytes and above cannot be
represented at all: DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_32/64/128_BYTES would need bits
32, 64 and 128, which do not fit in a u32. Hardware with wider data
paths is becoming common, so add a representation that can express these
widths while still using enum dma_slave_buswidth.

This series switches consumers and a small set of producers to bitmap
based bus width capabilities. The legacy dma_device u32 fields are kept
for now so the remaining DMA controller drivers can be converted
incrementally. dma_get_slave_caps() folds legacy producer masks into the
new bitmap representation returned to consumers.

Once the remaining producers are converted, the legacy dma_device
src/dst_addr_widths fields can be removed as a final cleanup.

This issue was discussed before here:

Changes in v2:
- Patch 5:
  - Goto the error label instead of directly returning so the clock is
    disabled if setting the bus width capabilities fails.
- Patch 9:
  - Improve the commit message to make it explicit that only the
    struct dma_slave_caps legacy fields are removed and that the
    struct dma_device ones are kept until all the DMA controller drivers
    are converted.
