Presumably that should be "return false".

Should that be TEGRA_DMA_REQ_SEL_CNTR instead of 0? Although I'm not
sure what "CNTR" means, and the documentation doesn't seem to say.

On failure, you should probably call tegra_dma_dequeue_req() to cancel
the DMA request, otherwise (a) it'll wake up and trash some future
transfer, or (b) it'll be in the queue forever, and prevent any future
DMA requests from being programmed into HW.

Those two comments repeated from tegra_apb_writel().
