[PATCH 0/2] dmaengine: rename dma_chan::dev to dma_chan::chan_dev for clarity

[Frank.Li@oss.nxp.com]

The current dma_chan structure contains both "device" and "dev". So

    chan->device->dev refers to the DMA engine device.
    chan->dev->device refers to the per-channel device instance.

Their similar naming makes the distinction unclear and increases reader
confusion.

Add union dma_chan::chan_dev to make its purpose explicit and clearly
identify it as the per-channel device. After all user switch to chan_dev,
union and dma_chan::dev will be removed.

Update the kernel-doc accordingly. Besides its sysfs usage, the per-channel
device is also used by some DMA engine drivers for IOMMU mapping and
therefore deserves a more accurate description.

1st patch use existing helper dma_chan_name() to reduce rename difference.
2nd rename drivers/dma

Need following patch to clean other dma engineer driver, which is not
in drivers/dma

After complete all rename work, dma_chan::dev can be removed.
