Some of the DMA controllers are capable of issuing the commands
to peripheral by the DMA. These commands can be list of register
reads/writes and its different from normal data reads/writes.
This patch adds new flag DMA_PREP_CMD in DMA API which tells
the driver that the data passed to DMA API is in command format
and DMA driver will form descriptor in the required format.
This flag can be used by any DMA controller driver which requires
special handling for non-Data descriptors.
