After DMA redesign, the pxa_camera dynamic behaviour should
be documented so that future contributors understand how it
works, and improve it.

+    Legend: - each box is a FSM state
+            - each arrow is the condition to transition to another state
+            - an arrow with a comment is a mandatory transition (no condition)
+            - arrow "Q" means : a buffer was enqueued
+            - arrow "DQ" means : a buffer was dequeued
+            - "QCI: stop" means the QCI interface is not enabled
+            - "DMA: stop" means all 3 DMA channels are stopped
+            - "DMA: run" means at least 1 DMA channel is still running
