Thanks for your patch!

This was not a real success indicator, which could indeed confuse
people, but an obfuscated NULL-pointer still prints as NULL, right?

This means we no longer see a debug message in case only one DMA
channel could be requested, thus requiring manual addition of more code
to find out what was really wrong?
