dmaengine: dw-edma: Add virtual IRQ for interrupt-emulation doorbells

Browse source

Interrupt emulation can assert the dw-edma IRQ line without updating the
DONE/ABORT bits. With the shared read/write/common IRQ handlers, the
driver cannot reliably distinguish such an emulated interrupt from a
real one and leaving a level IRQ asserted may wedge the line.

Allocate a dedicated, requestable Linux virtual IRQ (db_irq) for
interrupt emulation and attach an irq_chip whose .irq_ack runs the
core-specific deassert sequence (.ack_emulated_irq()). The physical
dw-edma interrupt handlers raise this virtual IRQ via
generic_handle_irq(), ensuring emulated IRQs are always deasserted.

Export the virtual IRQ number (db_irq) and the doorbell register offset
(db_offset) via struct dw_edma_chip so platform users can expose
interrupt emulation as a doorbell.

Without this, a single interrupt-emulation write can leave the level IRQ
line asserted and cause the generic IRQ layer to disable it.
