    The primary function of VPDMA is to move data between external memory
    and internal processing modules(in our case, VPE) that source or sink
    data. VPDMA is capable of buffering this data and then delivering the
    data as demanded to the modules as programmed. The modules that source
    or sink data are referred to as clients or ports. A channel is setup
    inside the VPDMA to connect a specific memory buffer to a specific
    client. The VPDMA centralizes the DMA control functions and buffering
    required to allow all the clients to minimize the effect of long latency
    times.
    
    Add the following to the VPDMA helper:
    
    - A data struct which describe VPDMA channels. For now, these channels
      are the ones used only by VPE, the list of channels will increase when
      VIP(Video Input Port) also uses the VPDMA library. This channel
      information will be used to populate fields required by data
      descriptors.
    
    - Data structs which describe the different data types supported by
      VPDMA. This data type information will be used to populate fields
      required by data descriptors and used by the VPE driver to map a V4L2
      format to the corresponding VPDMA data type.
    
    - Provide VPDMA register offset definitions, functions to read, write
      and modify VPDMA registers.
    
    - Functions to create and submit a VPDMA list. A list is a group of
      descriptors that makes up a set of DMA transfers that need to be
      completed. Each descriptor will either perform a DMA transaction to
      fetch input buffers and write to output buffers(data descriptors), or
      configure the MMRs of sub blocks of VPE(configuration descriptors), or
      provide control information to VPDMA (control descriptors).
    
    - Functions to allocate, map and unmap buffers needed for the descriptor
      list, payloads containing MMR values and scaler coefficients. These use
      the DMA mapping APIs to ensure exclusive access to VPDMA.
    
    - Functions to enable VPDMA interrupts. VPDMA can trigger an interrupt
      on the VPE interrupt line when a descriptor list is parsed completely
      and the DMA transactions are completed. This requires masking the events
      in VPDMA registers and configuring some top level VPE interrupt
      registers.
    
    - Enable some VPDMA specific parameters: frame start event(when to start
      DMA for a client) and line mode(whether each line fetched should be
      mirrored or not).
    
    - Function to load firmware required by VPDMA. VPDMA requires a firmware
      for it's internal list manager. We add the required request_firmware
      apis to fetch this firmware from user space.
    
    - Function to dump VPDMA registers.
    
    - A function to initialize and create a VPDMA instance, this will be
      called by the VPE driver with it's platform device pointer, this
      function will take care of loading VPDMA firmware and returning a
      vpdma_data instance back to the VPE driver. The VIP driver will also
      call the same init function to initialize it's own VPDMA instance.
