[PATCH v2 5/5] dmaengine: dw-edma: eDMA: Add sync read before starting the DMA transfer in remote setup

From: Kory Maincent <kory.maincent@bootlin.com>

The Linked list element and pointer are not stored in the same memory as
the eDMA controller register. If the doorbell register is toggled before
the full write of the linked list a race condition error can appears.
In remote setup we can only use a readl to the memory to assured the full
write has occurred.

Fixes: 7e4b8a4fbe2c ("dmaengine: Add Synopsys eDMA IP version 0 support")
