[PATCH] ata: pata_pxa: use devres for DMA channel management

From: Rosen Penev

Date: Sun Jul 19 2026 - 21:50:28 EST


Convert the DMA channel request to devm_dma_request_chan() so the
channel is released automatically on device teardown. This removes
the explicit dma_release_channel() calls in the probe error paths
and in pxa_ata_remove(), simplifying the driver.

Devres releases in LIFO order, so the managed host detach registered
by ata_host_activate() runs before the DMA channel is released, which
preserves the previous teardown ordering.

Built as a module for arm/pxa_defconfig (CONFIG_PATA_PXA=m) with
LLVM=1 W=1; no new warnings.
