On some SoCs, DMA-capable peripherals see a different address space to

drivers to convert between the two address spaces when programming DMA

This API will exist on all platforms, but will have a dummy implementation
when this feature is not required. Other platforms will enable
CONFIG_PHYS_TO_BUS and provide the required implementation.

Applied to -next, thanks!
btw. can't you use __weak here instead of a new ifdef macro (which is not
documented btw)?
__weak wont' work with inlines, which I used to ensure zero code
overhead in the case the functions aren't needed. If we were OK with
calling a no-op function in all cases, we could indeed provide a weak
default implementation and get rid of the ifdef.
The new option is documented in the Kconfig file. I assume we don't need
to document options in multiple places (both Kconfig and README), since
if we do, the documentation is bound to become inconsistent in those two
places. Hopefully README goes away once everything is in Kconfig.
