stm32-dma3 driver refactors the linked-list in order to address the memory

It means that it can introduce up to 2 linked-list items. One with a
transfer length multiple of channel maximum burst length and so with the
highest possible data width. And an extra one with the latest bytes, with
lower data width.
Some devices (e.g. FMC ECC) don't support having several transfers instead
of only one.
So add the possibility to prevent linked-list refactoring, by setting bit
17 of the 'DMA transfer requirements' bit mask.

Driver settings don't belong in DT. Perhaps reword it in terms of h/w
constraints (i.e. single transfer limitation).


Thanks for the review and suggestion. I'll reword it in V2. Indeed, it is due to single transfer limitation, e.g. for ECC status registers transfer.

  0x0: don't prevent additional transfers for optimal performance
0x1: prevent additional transfers to accommodate user constraints such as single transfer
