Add external dma support for Synopsys MSHC

Synopsys DesignWare mobile storage host controller supports three
types of transfer mode: pio, internal dma and external dma. However,
dw_mmc can only supports pio and internal dma now. Thus some platforms
using dw-mshc integrated with generic dma can't work in dma mode. So we
submit this patch to achieve it.

And the config option, CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC, was added by Will Newton
(commit:f95f3850) for the first version of dw_mmc and never be touched since
then. At that time dt-bindings hadn't been introduced into dw_mmc yet means
we should select CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC to enable internal dma mode at compile
time. Nowadays, device-tree helps us to support a variety of boards with one
kernel. That's why we need to remove it and decide the transfer mode by reading
dw_mmc's HCON reg at runtime.

This RFC patch needs lots of ACKs. I know it's hard, but it does need someone
to make the running.

Patch does the following things:
- remove CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC config option
- add bindings for edmac used by synopsys-dw-mshc
at runtime
- add edmac support for synopsys-dw-mshc

Patch is based on next of git://git.linaro.org/people/ulf.hansson/mmc

Changes in v4:
- remove "host->trans_mode" and use "host->use_dma" to indicate
transfer mode.
- remove all bt-bindings' changes since we don't need new properities.
- check transfer mode at runtime by reading HCON reg
- spilt defconfig changes for each sub-architecture
- fix the title of cover letter
- reuse some code for reducing code size

Changes in v3:
- choose transfer mode at runtime
- remove all CONFIG_MMC_DW_IDMAC config option
- add supports-idmac property for some platforms

Changes in v2:
- Fix typo of dev_info msg
- remove unused dmach from declaration of dw_mci_dma_slave
