Commit Message

The return value of dma_alloc_coherent() needs to be checked.
To avoid dereference of null pointer in case of the failure of alloc.
Signed-off-by: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@iscas.ac.cn>

Changelog:

v2 -> v3

*Change 1. Remove dev_err.
*Change 2. Change the return type of pch_request_dma to int.
*Change 3. Return -ENOMEM when dma_alloc_coherent() failed and 0 the
others.
*Change 4. Check return value of dma_alloc_coherent().

This patch is obviously not correct, and will cause problems if it were
accepted.

Please work on whatever tool you are using to find and make these
changes, as it is not working properly.

Or, if this was a manual change, please work on your kernel programming
skills.  There are a number of bugs in this proposed change, showing
that it was not tested at all.

thanks,
