This series is against v5.4-rc6

Patch 1. Introduces "avalon-dma" driver that conforms to the standard
"dmaengine" model;

Patch 2. The existing "dmatest" is not meant for DMA_SLAVE type of
transfers needed by "avalon-dma" driver. Instead, custom "avalon-test"
was used to debug and stress "avalon-dma". In fact, the methology used
for testing is pretty much generic:

  - DMA to/from the remote device (memory) - oneshot or multiple times;
  - continuously run cuncurrent threads DMAing to/from the remote device;
  - using IOCTL to DMA data to/from user level;

Such functionality could be very useful for bringing up custom embedded
devices, i.e sensors, displays etc.

With some effort "avalon-test" could even be merged into the existing
"dmatest" or turned into a tool for testing any "dmaengine" compatible
driver that does not need any custom hardware specifics to initiate DMA
transfers.

I am not certain that "avalon-test" in its current form is the best way
to proceed and thus marking patch 2 as RFC. It depends on "avalon-dma",
but the two drivers are not necessary to go along.


Changes since v4:
- kbuild test robot reported issues fixed;

Changes since v3 ("avalon-test" only):
- BUG_ONs, WARN_ONs, dev_dbgs removed goto labels renamed;
- kernel configuration options removed in favour of module parameters;
- fail paths reworked to avoid resource leaks uninitialized data crashes;
- invalid parameter checks reworked;

Changes since v2 ("avalon-dma" only):
- avalon_dma_register() return value bug fixed;
- device_prep_slave_sg() does not crash dmaengine_prep_slave_single();
- kernel configuration options removed in favour of module parameters;
- BUG_ONs, WARN_ONs, dev_dbgs removed goto labels renamed;
- polling loop in interrupt handler commented;
- cpu_relax() added to polling loop in interrupt handler;

Changes since v1:
- "avalon-dma" converted to "dmaengine" model;
- "avalon-drv" renamed to "avalon-test";

The Avalon-MM DMA Interface for PCIe is a design used in hard IPs for
Intel Arria, Cyclone or Stratix FPGAs. It transfers data between on-chip
memory and system memory.

Testing was done using a custom FPGA build with Arria 10 FPGA streaming
data to target device RAM:

  +----------+    +----------+    +----------+        +----------+
  | NIOS CPU |<-->|   RAM    |<-->|  Avalon  |<-PCIe->| Host CPU |
  +----------+    +----------+    +----------+        +----------+

The data integrity was ensured by examining target device RAM contents
(a) from host CPU (indirectly - checking data DMAed to/from the system)
and (b) from NIOS CPU that has direct access to the device RAM.

A companion tool using "avalon-test" IOCTL commands was used to DMA files:
