Eli Billauer c31bbc140b char: xillybus: Eliminate redundant wrappers to DMA related calls
The driver was originally written with the assumption that a different
API must be used for DMA-related functions if the device is PCIe based
or if not. Since Xillybus' driver supports devices on a PCIe bus (with
xillybus_pcie) as well as connected directly to the processor (with
xillybus_of), it originally used wrapper functions that ensure that
a different API is used for each.

This patch eliminates the said wrapper functions, as all use the same
dma_* API now. This is most notable by the code deleted in xillybus_pcie.c
and xillybus_of.c.

It also eliminates the OF driver's check for a "dma-coherent" attribute
in the device's OF entry, since this is taken care of by the kernel's
implementation of dma_sync_single_for_*().

There is however still need for one wrapper function, which is merged
from xillybus_pcie.c and xillybus_of.c into xillybus_core.c: The call to
dma_map_single() is wrapped by a function that uses the Managed Device
(devres) framework, in the absence of a relevant function in the current
kernel's API.
