dmaengine: nbpfaxi: add optional max-burst property for memory reads/writes
Due to a hardware bug, reading memory (from the Accelerator Coherency Port) with a burst size equal to the maximum burst size allowed by the DMA hardware's buffer size will cause a hardware hang on the ARTPEC-6 SoC, where the only solution is a manual power cycle. On ARTPEC-6, this hardware bug does not trigger when writing memory (to the Accelerator Coherency Port) with a burst size equal to the maximum burst size allowed by the DMA hardware's buffer size. To avoid this hardware hang, introduce a new optional max-burst property for memory reads. For completeness, also introduce a max-burst property for memory writes.

Optional properties:
+- max-burst-mem-read: limit burst size for memory reads
+ (DMA_MEM_TO_MEM/DMA_MEM_TO_DEV) to this value, specified in bytes, rather
+ than using the maximum burst size allowed by the hardware's buffer size.
+- max-burst-mem-write: limit burst size for memory writes
+ (DMA_DEV_TO_MEM/DMA_MEM_TO_MEM) to this value, specified in bytes, rather
+ than using the maximum burst size allowed by the hardware's buffer size.
+ If both max-burst-mem-read and max-burst-mem-write are set, DMA_MEM_TO_MEM
+ will use the lower value.
You can use dma-channels and dma-requests as described in dma.txt, although they
won't be used, this information is derived from the compatibility string.
