The code in 'arch/mips/bmips/dma.c' performed DMA mapping for inbound
regions.  This mapping was and is required for the Broadcom STB PCIe
controller HW.  This code is removed as the current 'struct device' has a
@dma_range_map field which performs the same functionality by processing
the "dma-ranges" DT property.

Subsequently, ARCH_HAS_PHYS_TO_DMA is now unset since the dma_to_phys()
and phys_to_dma() functions are removed.

CC Christoph so he can do the happy dance, thanks!

No actual patch content in this mail so I can't comment about the
substance, but removing another ARCH_HAS_PHYS_TO_DMA instance is always
awesome.
