The return value of dma_alloc_coherent() needs to be checked.
To avoid dereference of null pointer in case of the failure of alloc.

A blank line is always needed before the signed-off-by line.

Changelog:

v2 -> v3

*Change 1. Remove dev_err.
*Change 2. Change the return type of pch_request_dma to int.
*Change 3. Return -ENOMEM when dma_alloc_coherent() failed and 0 the
others.
*Change 4. Check return value of dma_alloc_coherent().

I see v3 here, not v4.  Where is v4?

And how did you test this change?
