On SDMA initialization return exactly the same error, which is
reported by dma_request_slave_channel_reason(), it is a preceding
change to defer SPI DMA initialization, if SDMA module is not yet
available.

When changing it can you add the error code to the message? That's
usually the next thing one wants to know when reading it. Also, isn't
dev_dbg enough here? Otherwise the driver gets really verbose when it
actually defers probe.

Agreed. But the error from spi_imx_sdma_init printed in probe. Anyway, I've changed the code as requested in upcoming series V6.
