From: Xiyu Yang <xiyuyang19@xxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a697ae6ea56e23397341b027098c1b11d9ab13da ] davinci_mcasp_get_dma_type() invokes dma_request_chan(), which returns a reference of the specified dma_chan object to "chan" with increased refcnt. When davinci_mcasp_get_dma_type() returns, local variable "chan" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of davinci_mcasp_get_dma_type(). When chan device is NULL, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by dma_request_chan(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling dma_release_channel() when chan device is NULL.
