     we need set dma_lch_count before use it for judging
     or which will be failed for omap_dma_reserve_channels

   additional info:
     this patch is only for fixing bug, not touch the features.
     so, not use d->lch_count instead of dma_lch_count for the statement:

                         && (omap_dma_reserve_channels <= dma_lch_count))

Why not ? Infact thats the right fix as mentioned in the review.

     at least, now, current fixing is equal to above.
     in the future
       maybe omap_dma_reserve_channels can be set by outside (such as from /proc)
       dma_lch_count is a static global variable which has effect to all devices.
       maybe the original author do not hope the newer is larger than the older

'omap_dma_reserve_channels' when used is suppose to be from command
line. Hence the proposed fix in the review is the right one.
