Added support for DMA transfers. The implementation uses the user watermark
to decide whether DMA will be used or not. For watermark 1, DMA will not be
used. If watermark is bigger, DMA will be used.
Sysfs attributes are created to indicate whether the DMA is used,
with hwfifo_enabled, and the current DMA watermark is readable
in hwfifo_watermark. Minimum and maximum values are in hwfifo_watermark_min
and hwfifo_watermark_max.

 Changes in v3:
 - Remove misleaded dev_info message when DMA was not enabled at probe
 - Rebased patch on top of the
[PATCH] iio: adc: at91-sama5d2_adc: fix probe error on missing trigger property
Which is already upstreamed in 4.14
 - Fixed the bug introduced in v2, with buffer size
 - added extra check when enabling DMA, to have hw trigger present.
This is because now, we can have the driver with software trigger only (if no
hw trigger in device tree, start as software only)

 Changes in v2:
 - No longer add last timestamp to all samples. Now, compute an interval
between samples w.r.t. start and end time of the transfer and number
of samples. Then distribute them each in the time interval.
 - Add warning for conversion overrun. This helps user identify cases
when the watermark needs adjustment : the software is too slow in reading
data from the ADC.
 - Protection around watermark is not needed, changing of the watermark
cannot be done while the buffer is enabled. When buffer is disabled, all
DMA resources are freed anyway.
 - Added validation on trigger to be used by own device
 - Best sample rate I could obtain using the low frequency clock was about
4k samples/second, with a watermark of 100. To get up to 50k samples/second
the ADC frequency must be increased to max.
 - Fixed computation of DMA buffer size
 - Addressed other comments from mailing list review. Feedback is appreciated

A tiny nitpick inline but otherwise looks fine to me.

Applied to the togreg branch of iio.git and pushed out as testing for
the autobuilders to play with it.

Thanks,

Jonathan
