The main thing is to change the DMA code in a way that the structure
DMA_Stream_TypeDef (which is similar to DMA_Channel_TypeDef on stm32l4)
is no longer used outside of dma.c, as this structure only exists for the
F4 series. Therefore I introduced a new structure (dma_descr_t) which
handles all DMA specific stuff for configuration. Further the periphery
(spi, i2c, sdcard, dac) does not need to know the internals of the dma.
Turning on each DMA block increases the current consumption
by about 8 mA. This code adds an idle timer for each DMA
block and turns off the clocks when no streams are in use
for 128 msec. Having a small timeout allows for improved
performance when back-to-back transfers are being performed.
The 128 msec is basically a guess.
This removes hard-coded DMA init params from dma_init(), instead defining
these parameters in a DMA_InitTypeDef struct that gets passed as an
argument to dma_init()
This makes dma_init more generic so it can be used for I2S and SD Card,
which require different initialization parameters.
