dmaengine: dw-edma: Add partial channel ownership mode

A DesignWare eDMA instance may represent only a subset of channels that
is also initialized by another OS instance, such as an endpoint-side OS.
Add a partial ownership flag for instances that must preserve
controller-wide state owned by that peer.

In partial ownership mode, dw-edma skips the initial core reset and uses
the limited quiesce path in probe() and remove() instead of the full
core-off path. The flag also makes the driver validate the ownership
granularity required by each register layout before registering
channels.

Probe fails if the limited quiesce cannot stop its resources; remove
reports the error after completing the remaining driver teardown.

Partial instances also skip interrupt-emulation doorbell allocation: the
emulated doorbell is a controller-level resource, and a partial owner
must not claim it on behalf of the whole block.

For EDMA_MF_EDMA_UNROLL and EDMA_MF_HDMA_COMPAT, the driver programs
per-direction registers, such as DMA_{WRITE,READ}_INT_MASK_OFF and
DMA_{WRITE,READ}_INT_CLEAR_OFF. These register layouts have at most
EDMA_MAX_{WR,RD}_CH channels per direction, so the capped hardware
channel count still represents the whole direction. A partial instance
can therefore expose write or read channels only if it owns every
channel in that direction; otherwise two OS instances could update the
same direction-wide registers without a shared locking protocol.

In contrast, HDMA native uses per-channel registers, so it can be owned
at channel granularity.
