From: Nikita Zhandarovich <n.zhandarovich@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 86a24e99c97234f87d9f70b528a691150e145197 upstream. dma_request_slave_channel() may return NULL which will lead to NULL pointer dereference error in 'tmp_chan->private'. Correct this behaviour by, first, switching from deprecated function dma_request_slave_channel() to dma_request_chan(). Secondly, enable sanity check for the resuling value of dma_request_chan(). Also, fix description that follows the enacted changes and that concerns the use of dma_request_slave_channel().
