Since commit ecc19d17868b ("dmaengine: Add a warning for drivers not
using the generic slave caps retrieval"), the dma drivers are required
to fill the caps infos in order to support generic slaves caps
retrieval. Otherwise we will get a warning like this:

Split the device_control callback of the Freescale Elo DMA driver to make use
of the newly introduced callbacks, that will eventually be used to retrieve
slave capabilities.

While we're at it, remove the useless prep_sg callback.

Pull driver core update from Greg KH:
 "Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.

  They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
  drivers.  They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes,
  just removing a line in a structure.

  Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes.  There
  are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been
  acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs
  changes.

  Everything has been in linux-next for a while"

chanctnt is already filled by dma_async_device_register, which uses the channel

Since it's already filled, we can safely remove it from the drivers' probe

The freescale driver uses custom device control FSLDMA_EXTERNAL_START to
put the controller in external start mode.
Since we are planning to deprecate the device control, move this to exported
API. Subsequent patches will remove the FSLDMA_EXTERNAL_START

<title>dmaengine: Freescale: change descriptor release process for supporting async_tx</title>

Fix the potential risk when enable config NET_DMA and ASYNC_TX. Async_tx is
lack of support in current release process of dma descriptor, all descriptors
will be released whatever is acked or no-acked by async_tx, so there is a
potential race condition when dma engine is uesd by others clients (e.g. when
enable NET_DMA to offload TCP).

In our case, a race condition which is raised when use both of talitos and
dmaengine to offload xor is because napi scheduler will sync all pending
requests in dma channels, it affects the process of raid operations due to
ack_tx is not checked in fsl dma. The no-acked descriptor is freed which is
submitted just now, as a dependent tx, this freed descriptor trigger
BUG_ON(async_tx_test_ack(depend_tx)) in async_tx_submit().

Another modification in this patch is the change of completed descriptors,
there is a potential risk which caused by exception interrupt, all descriptors
in ld_running list are seemed completed when an interrupt raised, it works fine
under normal condition, but if there is an exception occured, it cannot work as
our excepted. Hardware should not be depend on s/w list, the right way is to
read current descriptor address register to find the last completed descriptor.
If an interrupt is raised by an error, all descriptors in ld_running should not
be seemed finished, or these unfinished descriptors in ld_running will be
released wrongly.

A simple way to reproduce:
Enable dmatest first, then insert some bad descriptors which can trigger
Programming Error interrupts before the good descriptors. Last, the good
descriptors will be freed before they are processsed because of the exception
intrerrupt.

Note: the bad descriptors are only for simulating an exception interrupt.  This
case can illustrate the potential risk in current fsl-dma very well.
