Since some DW DMA controllers (like one installed on Baikal-T1 SoC) may
have non-uniform DMA capabilities per device channels, let's add
the DW DMA specific device_caps callback to expose that specifics up to
the DMA consumer. It's a dummy function for now. We'll fill it in with
capabilities overrides in the next commits.

I think per se it is not worth to have it separated. Squash into the next one.

bikeshadding? There is no any difference whether I add a dummy callback, then
fill it in in a following up patch, or have the callback added together
with some content. Let's see what Vinod thinks of it. Until then I'll stick with
the current solution.

Actually no.

The rule of thumb that we don't add dead code or code which is useless
per se. Go ahead and provide it with some usefulness.

Actually yes. I've seen examples, which preparation patches first added
prototypes with empty functionality, that in follow-up patches have been
filled with a required code. I've seen Greg accepted such approach. So it's
absolutely normal and acceptable.
