[PATCH v2 2/2] i2c: lpi2c: Use cleanup helper for dma_async_tx_descriptor error handling

[Frank Li]

Use the cleanup helper to simplify dma_async_tx_descriptor error handling.

No functional change.

        dmaengine_desc_free(rx_cmd_desc)

auto cleanup by __free, so whole error path submit_err_exit can be removed
and use desc_prepare_err_exit label.

Vinod Koul:

	Do you have chance to check this one, 3 month passed. Is it missed
at your review queue?

maybe free_dma_async_tx may be clearer as the name vs dma_async_tx_descriptor.

Typically if you are introducing cleanup usage, you will want to remove all the goto usages. Otherwise it gets kinda messy having both styles. Although not sure how to do a cleanup macro with dma_unmap_*. Unless a local one where lpi2c_imx_dma also contains a ptr to the device. Then that may be doable.

dma_unmap() patch at
https://lore.kernel.org/imx/aPZbuY5bLpkoO2J%2F@lizhi-Precision-Tower-5810/

The first patch need be pickup and dma umap firstly.  Then I can remove all
goto.

If that, 'dmaengine_desc_free' is better because avoid create new name for
it.

Although not sure how to do a cleanup macro with dma_unmap_*. Unless a local one where lpi2c_imx_dma also contains a ptr to the device. Then that may be doable.

Agree, it is better name
