[PATCH] dmaengine: qcom: gpi: correct channel name in error path

From: Brian Masney

Date: Thu Jun 25 2026 - 10:22:18 EST


When attempting to start the Fedora graphical installer from a USB
thumbdrive on the Lenovo Thinkpad x13s laptop, the following errors are
shown in dmesg multiple times:

kernel: gpi 800000.dma-controller: cmd: CH START completion timeout:0
kernel: gpi 800000.dma-controller: Error with cmd:CH START ret:-5
kernel: gpi 800000.dma-controller: Error start chan:-5

Looking through the error path, gpi_send_cmd() sends the wrong gchan to
gpi_send_cmd() in gpi_ch_init()'s error path. Let's fix this by passing
the correct gchan.

There's a separate issue with the graphical Fedora installer not
working that I haven't had time to dig into further. I can work
around it by using the text installer.
