Subject: [PATCH 3.7] dma: sh: Don't use ENODEV for failing slave lookup

If dmaengine driver's .device_alloc_chan_resources() method returns -ENODEV,
dma_request_channel() will decide, that the driver has been removed and will
remove the device from its list. To prevent this use ENXIO if a slave lookup
fails.

Hi Vinod

Could you please push this patch to Linus for 3.7 ASAP? I think, it should 
also go to "stable."

Thanks
Guennadi
