Subject: [PATCH v3] serial: pch_uart: potential dereference of null pointer

The return value of dma_alloc_coherent() needs to be checked.
To avoid dereference of null pointer in case of the failure of alloc.
Signed-off-by: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@...as.ac.cn>

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().
