Subject: serial: sh-sci: suppress warning for ports without dma channels

From: Andy Lowe <andy_lowe@mentor.com>


[ Upstream commit 7464779fa8551b90d5797d4020b0bdb7e6422eb9 ]

If a port has no dma channel defined in the device tree, then
don't attempt to allocate a dma channel for the port.
Also suppress the warning message concerning the failure to allocate
a dma channel.  Continue to emit the warning message if a dma
channel is defined but cannot be allocated.
