[RFC PATCH 1/3] dmaengine: add dma_get_channel_caps()

[Matt Porter]

Add a dmaengine API to retrieve per channel capabilities.
Currently, only channel ops and SG segment limitations are
implemented caps.

The API is optionally implemented by drivers and when
unimplemented will return a NULL pointer. It is intended
to be executed after a channel has been requested and, if
the channel is intended to be used with slave SG transfers,
then it may only be called after dmaengine_slave_config()
has executed. The slave driver provides parameters such as
burst size and address width which may be necessary for
the dmaengine driver to use in order to properly return SG
segment limit caps.
