    Add support for the Analog Devices AXI-DMAC DMA controller. This controller
    is a soft peripheral that can be instantiated in a FPGA and is often used
    in Analog Devices' reference designs for FPGA platforms.
    
    The peripheral has various configuration options that can be selected at
    synthesis time and influence the supported features of the instantiated
    peripheral, those options are represented as device-tree properties to
    allow the driver to behave accordingly.
    
    The peripheral has a zero latency architecture, which means it is possible
    to switch from one to the next descriptor without any delay. This is
    archived by having a internal queue which can hold multiple descriptors.
    The driver supports this, which means it will submit new descriptors
    directly to the hardware until the queue is full and not wait for a
    descriptor to complete before the next one is submitted. Interrupts are
    used for the descriptor queue flow control.
    
    Currently the driver supports SG, cyclic and interleaved slave DMA.
