CONFIG_TI_DAVINCI_EMAC, CONFIG_TI_CPSW and CONFIG_TI_CPSW_SWITCHDEV
are all tristate. This means that davinci_cpdma.o can be linked to
a module and also to vmlinux even though the expected CFLAGS are
different between builtins and modules.

This is the same situation as fixed by commit 637a642f5ca5 ("zstd:
Fixing mixed module-builtin objects").

Introduce the new module, ti_davinci_cpdma, to provide the common
functions to these three modules.

Please take the authorship for this patch
because I did not finish this patch
(and I am not sure if this is the correct way to fix)

As 18/18 will touch this part again,
perhaps davinci_cpdma.c can go into ti_cpsw_core.ko

Anyway, the maintainer may have a better insight.
