omap hsmmc host controller has ADMA2 feature. Enable it here
for better read and write throughput. Add a new dt binding
"ti,use_adma" to enable ADMA2.

Do we have use case when you want to fall back to generic DMA instead of aDMA2?

Yes my guess is that PM runtime breaks with these currently..

IMHO if the driver supports aDMA2, it is going to use it instead of the
generic s/eDMA.
What I mean is:
the driver implements the aDMA2 support.
if the IP has support for aDMA2, then it is going to use it, otherwise it will
use the generic DMA.

Ideally the adma support would be a separate loadable module,
similar how the cppi41dma is a child of the OTG controller.

The Master DMA is part of the hsmmc IP block. If the same ADMA module is
present on other IPs it might be beneficial to have a helper library to handle
it (allocating the descriptor pool, wrinting, updating descriptors, etc).

That way the systems wanting to use adma can just specify it
in the binding, and adma PM runtime support can be added later
on.

Of course this won't work if the adma registers are sprinkled
within the MMC controller registers..

Regards,

Tony
