The dma_slave_config.direction field usage in the DW eDMA driver has been
introduced in the commit bd96f1b2f43a ("dmaengine: dw-edma: support local
dma device transfer semantics"). Mainly the change introduced there was
correct (indeed DEV_TO_MEM means using RD-channel and MEM_TO_DEV -
WR-channel for the case of having eDMA accessed locally from
CPU/Application side), but providing an additional
MEM_TO_MEM/DEV_TO_DEV-based semantics was quite redundant if not to say
potentially harmful (when it comes to removing the denoted field). First
of all since the dma_slave_config.direction field has been marked as
obsolete (see [1] and the structure dc [2]) and will be discarded in
future, using it especially in a non-standard way is discouraged. Secondly
in accordance with the commit denoted above the default
dw_edma_device_transfer() semantics has been changed despite what it's
message said. So claiming that the method was left backward compatible was
wrong.

Anyway let's fix the problems denoted above and simplify the
dw_edma_device_transfer() method by dropping the parsing of the
DMA-channel direction field. Instead of having that implicit
dma_slave_config.direction field semantic we can use the recently added
DW_EDMA_CHIP_LOCAL flag to distinguish between the local and remote DW
eDMA setups thus preserving both cases support. In addition to that an
ASCII-figure has been added to clarify the complication out.
