[PATCH] ASoC: soc-generic-dmaengine: Fix DMA channel request warning
From: phucduc . bui
Date: Tue Aug 25 2026 - 04:22:18 EST
From: bui duc phuc <phucduc.bui@xxxxxxxxx>
The DMA channel request code currently warns about legacy DMA failures
when the channel name is not present in dma-names. This can report a
firmware lookup failure as a legacy DMA failure.
Furthermore, failures from the legacy DMA path are already reported by
find_candidate(), making these warnings redundant.
Only warn when the channel name is present in dma-names but the request
fails, avoiding misleading and duplicate error messages.
Fixes: 9167f260477b ("ASoC: soc-generic-dmaengine: Handle DMA channel request failures correctly")
