Please change from:
  dma_request_slave_channel()
to:
  dma_request_chan()

The first will never return -EPROBE_DEFER.  The second will.

Once you've changed to dma_request_chan(), change IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to
just IS_ERR().  dma_request_chan() never returns NULL.

Once you've changed to use dma_request_chan(), no need to change this
line.  Leave it as it was.

Same comments apply to the rx path.
