[PATCH] davinci: check for presence of channel controller on slot alloc

[Cyril Chemparathy]

This patch adds a check for the presence of the channel controller when
trying to allocate a slot.  Without this fix, the kernel panics with a NULL
pointer dereference when the dma-engine drivers are probed.
