ARM: davinci: edma: fix dmaengine induced null pointer dereference on da830
commit 069552777a121eb39da29de4bc0383483dbe1f7e upstream. This adds additional error checking to the private edma api implementation to catch the case where the edma_alloc_slot() has an invalid controller parameter. The edma dmaengine wrapper driver relies on this condition being handled in order to avoid setting up a second edma dmaengine instance on DA830. Verfied using a DA850 with the second EDMA controller platform instance removed to simulate a DA830 which only has a single EDMA controller.
