dmaengine: dma-axi-dmac: Gracefully terminate HW cyclic transfers
Add support for gracefully terminating hardware cyclic DMA transfers when a new transfer is queued and is flagged with DMA_PREP_LOAD_EOT. Without this, cyclic transfers would continue indefinitely until we brute force it with .device_terminate_all(). When a new descriptor is queued while a cyclic transfer is active, mark the cyclic transfer for termination. For hardware with scatter-gather support, modify the last segment flags to trigger end-of-transfer. For non-SG hardware, clear the CYCLIC flag to allow natural completion. Older IP core versions (pre-4.6.a) can prefetch data when clearing the CYCLIC flag, causing corruption in the next transfer. Work around this by disabling and re-enabling the core to flush prefetched data. The cyclic_eot flag tracks transfers marked for termination, preventing new transfers from starting until the cyclic one completes. Non-EOT transfers submitted after cyclic transfers are discarded with a warning. Also note that for hardware cyclic transfers not using SG, we need to make sure that chan->next_desc is also set to NULL (so we can look at possible EOT transfers) and we also need to move the queue check to after axi_dmac_get_next_desc() because with hardware based cyclic transfers we might get the queue marked as full and hence we would not be able to check for cyclic termination.
