When the kernel is built with lockdep support and the owl-dma driver is used, the following message is shown: [ 2.496939] INFO: trying to register non-static key. [ 2.501889] the code is fine but needs lockdep annotation. [ 2.507357] turning off the locking correctness validator.

However, according to Manivannan Sadhasivam, 'pchan->lock' was supposed to only protect 'pchan->vchan' while 'od->lock' does a similar job in 'owl_dma_terminate_pchan'. Therefore, this patch will simply substitute 'pchan->lock' with 'od->lock' and removes the 'lock' attribute in 'owl_dma_pchan' struct.
