Subject: [PATCH] drm/exynos: Add check for dma_set_max_seg_size

Add check for the return value of dma_set_max_seg_size() and return
the error if it fails in order to catch the error.

With my dma-mapping hat maintainer on I think we should remove the
return value from it. It can only return -EIO or 0, and the first
only if the bus has not set up a dma_params structure for the device.
I'd much rather WARN_ON() on that, as it is is a grave error to either
call dma_set_max_seg_size on a device that is on a bus that doesn't
support DMA at all, or for the bus maintainer to accidentlaly drop it.

Feel free to add the patch if exynos has a strict error checking policy,
but it's rather pointless and I'll add removing the return value to my
ever growing TODO list.
