Thanks Dan for point out.

I am sorry, make does not report such error here, is it config related.

Dear Vinod

Could I update this patch and resend to you?
Change to:
struct dma_chan *dma_get_slave_channel(struct dma_chan *chan)
{
         int err = -EBUSY;

         /* lock against __dma_request_channel */
         mutex_lock(&dma_list_mutex);

         if (chan->client_count = 0) {
                 err = dma_chan_get(chan);
                 if (err)
                         pr_debug("%s: failed to get %s: (%d)\n",
                                 __func__, dma_chan_name(chan), err);
         } else
                 chan = NULL;

         mutex_unlock(&dma_list_mutex);

         return chan;
}

Sorry for inconvenience.

Thanks
