From: Thierry Reding <treding@xxxxxxxxxx> If the driver fails to obtain a DMA channel, it will initiate cleanup and try to release the DMA channel that couldn't be retrieved. This will cause a crash because the cleanup will try to dereference an ERR_PTR()- encoded error code. However, there's nothing to clean up at this point yet, so we can avoid this by simply resetting the DMA channel to NULL instead of storing the error code.
