davinci_mcasp_get_dma_type() invokes dma_request_chan(), which returns a
reference of the specified dma_chan object to "chan" with increased
refcnt.
When davinci_mcasp_get_dma_type() returns, local variable "chan" becomes
invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.
The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of
davinci_mcasp_get_dma_type(). When chan device is NULL, the function
forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by dma_request_chan(), causing
a refcnt leak.
Fix this issue by calling dma_release_channel() when chan device is
NULL.
