DMA is optional with this driver. If it was not enabled the devpriv->dma pointer will be NULL. Fix the possible NULL pointer dereference when trying to disable the DMA channels in das1800_ai_cancel() and tidy up the comments to fix the checkpatch.pl issues: WARNING: line over 80 characters It's probably harmless in das1800_ai_setup_dma() because the 'desc' pointer will not be used if DMA is disabled but fix it there also.
