It seems like d40_config_chan() just wants to be open coded in
d40_alloc_chan_resources().  It does not have its own local variables,
and the only thing that returns an error is d40_config_write().

While trying to figure out why this flag was needed I happened to
notice a gratuitous use of gotos in d40_allocate_channel().  Can we
make this function easier to read by just returning -EINVAL directly
when those tests fail?
