dmaengine: add possibility for cyclic transfers
Cyclic transfers are useful for audio where a single buffer divided in periods has to be transfered endlessly until stopped. After being prepared the transfer is started using the dma_async_descriptor->tx_submit function. dma_async_descriptor->callback is called after each period. The transfer is stopped using the DMA_TERMINATE_ALL callback. While being used for cyclic transfers the channel cannot be used for other transfer types.
