This change will add support for LOCK & UNLOCK flag bit support
on CMD descriptor.

If DMA_PREP_LOCK flag passed in prep_slave_sg then requester of this
transaction wanted to lock the DMA controller for this transaction so
BAM driver should set LOCK bit for the HW descriptor.

If DMA_PREP_UNLOCK flag passed in prep_slave_sg then requester of this
transaction wanted to unlock the DMA controller.so BAM driver should set
UNLOCK bit for the HW descriptor.
Hi,

This is a generic question. What is the point of LOCK/UNLOCK with allocating LOCK groups to the individual dma channels? By default
doesn't all channels fall in the same group. This would mean that
a lock does not prevent the dma controller from not executing a
transaction on the other channels.
