So, I do not understand what issue you faced with the current code 
ordering. When bam dma is not initialized, qce_dma_request will fail and
rest the error path kicks in.
To me the correct ordering for enabling a driver is to turn on clocks 
and interconnect before requesting for dma. Unless, there is a specific 
issue, I will ask for that order to be maintained.
