Now there is an error code, you might (1) want to print it, and (2) only
do so when it is not due to probe deferral:

if (PTR_ERR(ch->dmach) != -EPROBE_DEFER)
rdrif_err(sdr, "ch%u: dma channel req failed %pe\n",
i, ch->dmach);

Yes, this is true.

if (ret != -EPROBE_DEFER)
rdrif_err(sdr, "ch%u: dma channel req failed (%d)\n", i, ret);

might be simpler.

Sure, checking ret is simpler.
But printing ch->dmach means you can use the new %pe format specifier
to pretty-print the error code.

Ah, I was not aware of this, but there is another issue with the patch:
I need to set the ch->dmach to NULL before jumping to dmach_error..

I'll send v3 in a minute.
