Pavel pointed that the return of dma_addr_t in otx2_alloc_rbuf/__otx2_alloc_rbuf() seem suspicious because a negative error code may be returned in some cases. For a dma_addr_t, the error code such as -ENOMEM does seem a valid value, so we can't judge if the buffer allocation fail or not based on that value. Add a parameter for otx2_alloc_rbuf/__otx2_alloc_rbuf() to store the dma address and make the return value to indicate if the buffer allocation really fail or not.

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.
