[PATCH 2/3] dma: add __must_check annotation for dmaengine_pause()

From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior
Date: Fri Aug 07 2015 - 16:01:29 EST


In 8250-omap I learned it the hard way that ignoring the return code
of dmaengine_pause() might be bad because the underlying DMA driver
might not support the function at all and so not doing what one is
expecting.
This patch adds the __must_check annotation as suggested by Russell King.
