[PATCH] tty: serial: pch: don't crash if DMA enabled but not loaded

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Wed Dec 04 2013 - 14:53:05 EST


if the DMA driver isn't loaded "on time" then we crash in the irq handler:
| pch_uart 0000:02:0a.4: pch_request_dma:dma_request_channel FAILS(Tx)
| BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
| IP: [<c0676ed9>] pch_uart_interrupt+0x739/0x940
