Reading destination and source is pointless. In DEV_TO_MEM transfers
we are only interested in the destination, in MEM_TO_DEV we care about
the source. In MEM_TO_MEM it really does not matter which one you
read.

Remove the extra pointer and select dest/source via a bool.

Reading the src/dst data from an active parameter set in the EDMA
parameter RAM is not reliable, as there might be a concurrent update
from the controller.

But experimentation showed, that a double readout with comparing the
results and a limited loop works nicely. I've actually never found a
case where the loop limit triggered, but we have it there for sanity
reasons. In case it triggers we return -EBUSY and let the caller deal
with it.

Remove the export of this function while at it. The only potential
user is the dmaengine and that's always builtin.

The access is synchronized though and you shouldn't see unreliable
results, unless you _are_ seeing unreliable results in which case it
could be a silicon issue.

The original code also doesn't have the double read so I would just drop
that, unless you are seeing reliability issues.

Here's a thread that discusses it and the end conclusion is that it
should be fine (Kyle Kastile is one of the EDMA hardware designers).

I'm sorry to have messed up Kyle's name, its Kyle Castille ;-)

Gah, right I saw the issues with the original code, which does a
memcpy_fromio which copies byte by byte. Did not think about retrying
with the edma_read() based one.

Actually I did expect memcpy_fromio to be more clever. But you are
right, using the 32bit wide read works like a charm.
