Hi everyone,

This patch series introduces support for the Allwinner A733 DMA
controller in the `sun6i-dma` driver.

The A733 DMA controller differs from previous generations in several key
ways:
1. It supports higher address (up to 32G).
2. It uses a different interrupt register layout and mapping.
3. It has a different number of channels per interrupt register.

To support these differences without introducing complex conditional
logic throughout the driver, this series first refactors the
`sun6i_dma_config` structure. By moving interrupt handling, register
dumping, and address configuration into function pointers within the
configuration structure. This allows the driver to support the A733
and future hardware revisions. It also aligns with the DMA drivers in
Radxa BSP Package[1].

The series is organized as follows:
- Refactors the configuration structure to include function pointers for
  interrupt and register operations.
- Moves address setting logic into the configuration structure to handle
  varying address widths.
- Adds support for variable channels per interrupt register.
- Updates the device tree bindings documentation.
- Implements the A733-specific configuration and register mappings.

Tested on Radxa Cubie A7Z.

Changes in v2:
- Implement SUN6I_DMA_IRQ_A31_COMMON_OPS macro to avoid duplicate.
- Move set_addr into helper function and revert back sun6i_dma_set_addr.
- Rename chan_num to irq_req to avoid misleading name as suggested by
  sashiko.
- Reorder and reword the dtbinding patch for more clarity.

Hi Yuanshen,

Following up on my earlier note on patch 1: I have Cubie A7S hardware
on hand and boot test kernels over serial routinely. If runtime
confirmation of the DMA controller would help the next revision, say
what you would like exercised and I will run it.

(AI-assisted, as before.)

Thanks,
Enzo
