[PATCH] dmaengine: device must have at least one channel

[Viresh Kumar]

The DMA device can't be registered if it doesn't have any channels
registered at all. Moreover, it leads to memory leak and is reported by
kmemleak as (on 3.10 kernel, and same shall happen on mainline):

unreferenced object 0xffffffc09e597240 (size 64):
  comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294877736 (age 7060.280s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

Return -ENODEV from dma_async_device_register() on such a case.

Hi Vinod,

Sorry if the fundamentals behind this patch are completely incorrect,
i.e. We *can't* register a dma device with 0 channels. Its been long
that I have worked on dma stuff :)
