dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel
Currently slave DMA channels are requested by calling dma_request_channel() and requires DMA clients to pass various filter parameters to obtain the appropriate channel. With device-tree being used by architectures such as arm and the addition of device-tree helper functions to extract the relevant DMA client information from device-tree, add a new function to request a slave DMA channel using device-tree. This function is currently a simple wrapper that calls the device-tree of_dma_request_slave_channel() function.
