I suggest to reconsider your jump target selection.

I interpret the source code in the way that you would like to call
this function for the desired exception handling only after a call
of the function “dma_request_chan” succeeded.
Thus I would expect that the passed pointer will usually be still valid.
(Can the proposed null pointer check be omitted then?)

How do you think about the following change possibility?

+err_release_channel:
+	dma_release_channel(owl_host->dma);


Would you like to add the tag “Fixes” to the change description?

Regards,
Markus
