Currently in sst_dsp_new() if we get an error return from sst_dma_new()
we just print an error message and then still complete the function
successfully. This means that we are trying to run without sst->dma
properly set up, which will result in NULL pointer dereference when
sst->dma is later used. This was happening for me in
sst_dsp_dma_get_channel():
struct sst_dma *dma = dsp->dma;
...
dma->ch = dma_request_channel(mask, dma_chan_filter, dsp);
This resulted in:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018
IP: sst_dsp_dma_get_channel+0x4f/0x125 [snd_soc_sst_firmware]
Fix this by adding proper error handling for the case where we fail to
set up DMA.
This change only affects Haswell and Broadwell systems. Baytrail
systems explicilty opt-out of DMA via sst->pdata->resindex_dma_base
being set to -1.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
