Add support for the eDMA IP version 0 driver for both register maps (legacy and unroll). The legacy register mapping was the initial implementation, which consisted in having all registers belonging to channels multiplexed, which could be change anytime (which could led a race-condition) by view port register (access to only one channel available each time). This register mapping is not very effective and efficient in a multithread environment, which has led to the development of unroll registers mapping, which consists of having all channels registers accessible any time by spreading all channels registers by an offset between them. This version supports a maximum of 16 independent channels (8 write + 8 read), which can run simultaneously. Implements a scatter-gather transfer through a linked list, where the size of linked list depends on the allocated memory divided equally among all channels. Each linked list descriptor can transfer from 1 byte to 4 Gbytes and is alignmented to DWORD. Both SAR (Source Address Register) and DAR (Destination Address Register) are alignmented to byte.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
