Robin Murphy d89e2378a9 drivers: flag buses which demand DMA configuration
We do not want the common dma_configure() pathway to apply
indiscriminately to all devices, since there are plenty of buses which
do not have DMA capability, and if their child devices were used for
DMA API calls it would only be indicative of a driver bug. However,
there are a number of buses for which DMA is implicitly expected even
when not described by firmware - those we whitelist with an automatic
opt-in to dma_configure(), assuming that the DMA address space and the
physical address space are equivalent if not otherwise specified.

Commit 7232888366 ("of: restrict DMA configuration") introduced a
short-term fix by comparing explicit bus types, but this approach is far
from pretty, doesn't scale well, and fails to cope at all with bus
drivers which may be built as modules, like host1x. Let's refine things
by making that opt-in a property of the bus type, which neatly addresses
those problems and lets the decision of whether firmware description of
DMA capability should be optional or mandatory stay internal to the bus
drivers themselves.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
