The error code is needed here to properly distinguish the case when 
there are no "dma-ranges" defined in DT. Also, I think, that 
of_dma_get_range() shouldn't return any default values - It just
has to get data from DT. And the caller should decide what to do
with this data and how to handle error cases.

So, I prefer to keep behavior as is:
- in case of failure of_dma_get_range() will not touch values of
  &dma_addr, &paddr, &size.
