dmaengine: dma-jz4780: Use 4-word descriptors
The only information we use in the 8-word version of the hardware DMA
descriptor that is not present in the 4-word version is the transfer
type, aka. the ID of the source or recipient device.
Since the transfer type will never change for a DMA channel in use,
we can just set it once for all in the corresponding DMA register
before starting any transfer.
This has several benefits:
* the driver will handle twice as many hardware DMA descriptors;
* the driver is closer to support the JZ4740, which only supports 4-word
hardware DMA descriptors;
* the JZ4770 SoC needs the transfer type to be set in the corresponding
DMA register anyway, even if 8-word descriptors are in use.
