[media] tw686x: Introduce an interface to support multiple DMA modes
Let's set the corner stone to support all the DMA modes available on this device. For stability reasons, the driver is currently setting DMA frame mode, and using single DMA buffers to get the P and B buffers. Each frame is then memcpy'ed into the user buffer. However, other platforms might be interested in avoiding this memcpy, or in taking advantage of the chip's DMA scatter-gather capabilities. To achieve this, this commit introduces a "dma_mode" module parameter, and a tw686x_dma_ops struct. This will allow to define functions to alloc/free DMA buffers, and to return the frames to userspace. The memcpy-based method described above is named as dma_mode="memcpy". Current alloc/free functions are renamed as tw686x_memcpy_xxx, and are now used through a memcpy_dma_ops.
