On dma_request_chan() failure driver NULL-ifies the 'rx_chan' and immediately uses it as PTR_ERR() so dev_err_probe() prints incorrect error code. Rework the code so proper error code will be printed and NULL-ifying of 'rx_chan' will happen in common error handling block (failure of DMA setup is not fatal for the driver and further code depends on 'rx_chan' being non-NULL for DMA operations).
