[PATCH] dmaengine: dw: fix potential memory leak in dw_dma_parse_dt()

[Mans Rullgard]

If the "dma-channels" DT property is missing, the dw_dma_parse_dt()
function return NULL, but not before allocating memory for a struct
dw_dma_platform_data through devres.  If the device supports parameter
detection, the probe still succeeds and the allocated memory is not
released until the device is removed.

Fix this by deferring the allocation until after checking the
"dma-channels" property.

This has only been compile-tested as I have no suitable hardware.
