From: Andy Lowe andy_lowe@mentor.com
[ Upstream commit 7464779fa8551b90d5797d4020b0bdb7e6422eb9 ]
If a port has no dma channel defined in the device tree, then don't attempt to allocate a dma channel for the port. Also suppress the warning message concerning the failure to allocate a dma channel. Continue to emit the warning message if a dma channel is defined but cannot be allocated.
