[PATCH V3] dma: add channel request API that supports deferred probe

From: Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia.com>
dma_request_slave_channel() simply returns NULL whenever DMA channel
lookup fails. Lookup could fail for two distinct reasons:
a) No DMA specification exists for the channel name.
This includes situations where no DMA specifications exist at all, or
other general lookup problems.
b) A DMA specification does exist, yet the driver for that channel is not
yet registered.
Case (b) should trigger deferred probe in client drivers. However, since
they have no way to differentiate the two situations, it cannot.
Implement new function dma_request_slave_channel_or_err(), which performs
identically to dma_request_slave_channel(), except that it returns an
error-pointer rather than NULL, which allows callers to detect when
deferred probe should occur.
Eventually, all drivers should be converted to this new API, the old API
removed, and the new API renamed to the more desirable name. This patch
doesn't convert the existing API and all drivers in one go, since some
drivers call dma_request_slave_channel() then dma_request_channel() if
that fails. That would require either modifying dma_request_channel() in
the same way, or adding extra error-handling code to all affected
drivers, and there are close to 100 drivers using the other API, rather
than just the 15-20 or so that use dma_request_slave_channel(), which
might be tenable in a single patch.
acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_name() doesn't currently implement
deferred probe. It should, but this will be addressed later.

v3:
* s/_or_err/_reason/ in the new API name.
* Simplify changes to of_dma_request_slave_channel() so that the new
"bool defer" parameter is not needed.
* Revert changes to acpi-dma.c and handle the return value conversion
in dma_request_slave_channel_reason() instead.
* Mention that acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_name() should implement
deferred probe, but that will happen later.
v2:
* include <linux/err.h> in <linux/dmaengine.h>
* Return -ENODATA if slave_id or chan_id out-of-range.
* Return an error-pointer not NULL if we can't find a matching DMA
controller or translate the channel.
This patch is a dependency for:
* A series that reworks many of the Tegra drivers.
* A series that enhances ASoC's dmaengine code to support deferred probe.
As such, it needs to go into a topic branch on its own, based directly
on 3.13-rc1. If the DMA maintainers ack the patches I'm happy to create
this topic branch myself and send a pull request to the DMA tree. Or the
patches can be applied to a topic branch by the DMA maintainers and I
will merge their topic branch into the Tegra rework branch that I
mentioned.
