Thomas Zimmermann 143ec8d3f9 drm/prime: Support dedicated DMA device for dma-buf imports
Importing dma-bufs via PRIME requires a DMA-capable device. Devices on
peripheral busses, such as USB, often cannot perform DMA by themselves.
Without DMA-capable device PRIME import fails. DRM drivers for USB
devices already use a separate DMA device for dma-buf imports. Make the
mechanism generally available.

Besides the case of USB, there are embedded DRM devices without DMA
capability. DMA is performed by a separate controller. DRM drivers should
set this accordingly.

Add the field dma_dev to struct drm_device to refer to the device's DMA
device. For USB this should be the USB controller. Use dma_dev in the
PRIME import helpers, if set.

v2:
- acquire internal reference on dma_dev (Jani)
- add DMA-controller usecase to docs (Maxime)
