[PATCH v2] iio: adc: at91-sama5d2_adc: fix DMA conversion crash

[Eugen Hristev]

After the move of the postenable code to preenable, the DMA start was
done before the DMA init, which is not correct.
The DMA is initialized in set_watermark. Because of this, we need to call
the DMA start functions in set_watermark, after the DMA init, instead of
preenable hook, when the DMA is not properly setup yet.

Fixes: f3c034f61775 ("iio: at91-sama5d2_adc: adjust iio_triggered_buffer_{predisable,postenable} positions")

Changes in v2:
- check return value of buffer prepare, and in case of error, unwind DMA
- validated by trying to force an error :

# echo 100 > /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/buffer/length
# echo 100 > /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio\:device0/buffer/watermark
# iio_generic_buffer -n fc030000.adc -t fc030000.adc-dev0-external_rising -c 5
iio device number being used is 0
iio trigger number being used is 0
/sys/bus/iio/deviciio io:device0 fc030000.adc-dev0-external_risingiio:device0: using dma0chan10 for rx DMA transfers

iio iio:device0: continuing without DMA support
