As discussed recently the meaning of DMA_CTRL_ACK is that a desc cannot be
reused by provider until the client acknowledges receipt, i.e. has has a
chance to establish any dependency chains. So update documentation

Pull dmaengine updates from Vinod Koul:
"This update brings:
- the big cleanup up by Maxime for device control and slave
capabilities. This makes the API much cleaner.
- new IMG MDC driver by Andrew
- new Renesas R-Car Gen2 DMA Controller driver by Laurent along with
bunch of fixes on rcar drivers
- odd fixes and updates spread over driver"

Now that we have splitted device_control and removed device_slave_caps in favor
of a few dma_device variables, update the documentation accordingly.

The dmaengine is neither trivial nor properly documented at the moment, which
means a lot of trial and error development, which is not that good for such a
central piece of the system.
Attempt at making such a documentation.
