The variable dma_lch_count used for comparison (omap_dma_reserve_channels <= dma_lch_count)
before it initialized to the value from omap_dma_dev_attr : d->lch_count.

I change the place of dma_lch_count initialization to be before the comparison.

By removing this line, you are effectively not assigning
d->lch_count after reserving. So the patch should only change
dma_lch_count in the above "if statement" to d->lch_count
