dma_request_slave_channel() is a wrapper on top of dma_request_chan()
eating up the error code.

By using dma_request_chan() directly the driver can support deferred
probing against DMA.

It doesn't seem to be the case as DMA channel is requested at the start
of the data transfer (which happens after the driver has been successfully
probed).

PS there is a typo in the patch summary (it should "pata_arasan_cf").

True, I have updated the commit message to remove the reference to
deferred probing.
If the DMA is requested upfront (at probe time, device open time?) the
driver would save quite a bit of time by not allocating and freeing the
DMA resources repeatedly for each transfer, thus most likely giving a
boost to throughput...

Ah, fixed this as well in v2.

Thanks for catching them,
