Currently in sst_dsp_new() if we get an error return from sst_dma_new()
we just print an error message and then still complete the function
successfully. This means that we are trying to run without sst->dma
properly set up, which will result in NULL pointer dereference when
sst->dma is later used. This was happening for me in
sst_dsp_dma_get_channel():
struct sst_dma *dma = dsp->dma;
...
dma->ch = dma_request_channel(mask, dma_chan_filter, dsp);
This resulted in:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018
IP: sst_dsp_dma_get_channel+0x4f/0x125 [snd_soc_sst_firmware]
Fix this by adding proper error handling for the case where we fail to
set up DMA.
