NAND DMA prefetch for SDMA based devices has been broken for awhile. This
patchset fixes it so SOCs that use the SDMA can make use of the NAND
DMA prefetch.
I've decided to split this patchset from the slightly larger patchset that
included EDMA support. Adding EDMA support will be added in a later
patchset.
Tested using the latest master on:
am37 gp evm
Due to a silicon issue Dra7 SoCs are unable to use NAND DMA prefetch.

The prefetch engine sends a dma request once a FIFO threshold has
been met. No other requests are received until the previous request
is handled.
Starting a dma transfer (dma_async_issue_pending) results in any
previous event for the dma channel to be cleared. Therefore, starting
the prefetch engine before initiating the dma transfer may result in
the prefetch triggering a dma request but instead of it being handled
it can end up being cleared. This will result in a hang since the code
will continue to wait for the dma request to complete.
By initiating the dma request before enabling the prefetch engine this
race condition is avoided and no dma request are missed/cleared.

Based on DMA documentation and testing using high memory buffer when doing
dma transfers can lead to various issues including kernel panics.
To workaround this simply use cpu copy.

Applied, thanks.
