dmaengine: check device and channel list for empty

Hello Dave Jiang,

The patch deb9541f5052: "dmaengine: check device and channel list for empty" from Jun 26, 2020, leads to the following static checker warnings:

The dma_request_chan() function used to only return error pointers or a valid pointer. We need to update the comments at the start of the function to explain about the new NULL return.

  1942                  goto err_irq;
  1943          }
  1944  
  1945          host->tx_chan = dma_request_chan(&pdev->dev, "tx");

  1946          if (IS_ERR(host->tx_chan)) {
  1947                  dev_err(mmc_dev(host->mmc), "TX DMA channel request failed\n");
  1948                  ret = PTR_ERR(host->tx_chan);
  1949                  goto err_irq;

  1951

  1959          mmc->max_seg_size = min3(mmc->max_req_size,
  1960                          dma_get_max_seg_size(host->rx_chan->device->dev),

This will Oops.

  1961                          dma_get_max_seg_size(host->tx_chan->device->dev));

  1966          if (ret) {
  1967                  dev_err(mmc_dev(host->mmc), "Unable to grab HSMMC IRQ\n");
