Subject: dma: sh: Don't use ENODEV for failing slave lookup
From: Guennadi Liakhovetski <[email protected]>
commit 7c1119bdd650fa58dad8157bc75c5fcf6ed97843 upstream.
If dmaengine driver's .device_alloc_chan_resources() method returns -ENODEV,
dma_request_channel() will decide, that the driver has been removed and will
remove the device from its list. To prevent this use ENXIO if a slave lookup
fails.
