davinci_mcasp_get_dma_type() invokes dma_request_chan(), which returns a reference of the specified dma_chan object to "chan" with increased refcnt. When davinci_mcasp_get_dma_type() returns, local variable "chan" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced. The reference counting issue happens in one exception handling path of davinci_mcasp_get_dma_type(). When chan device is NULL, the function forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by dma_request_chan(), causing a refcnt leak. Fix this issue by calling dma_release_channel() when chan device is NULL.

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.
