EDMA: remove "in_use" field
Remove some significant duplication: - We only need a single bitmap to record which PARAM slots are in use, and it only needs to have enough bits to cover the slots that exist. - By using the atomic bitops for that, we eliminate the current need for a private spinlock. - We don't need to record 'tcc' either, it's only needed inside davinci_request_dma(). Remove it: be clearer and more correct (it can change with PARAM operations), save space. This change highlighted some existing bugs in terms of fault returns when davinci_request_dma() couldn't return a resource of the relevant type; unlikely for anyone to have hit them, so far. Switch to standard kerneldoc for davinci_request_dma(). The two previous descriptive comments were inconsistent, so fix that too. Explain the callback usage a bit. Minor new feature: allow explicit allocation of slave channels too, allowing pre-allocation of *any* DMA channel on behalf of DSP code. This saves about 2 KB of space (half is data) as well as making allocation and deallocation code a LOT simpler.
