Ah, yes, my mistake. It should be:

if (!dmaengine_slave_config(..., &host->dma_cfg_tx) &&
     !dmaengine_slave_config(..., &host->dma_cfg_rx))
	dma_dev =

And I don't think that the first dmaengine_slave_config() needs to be 
undone in case of failure for the second call.

Ulf, how to handle a fix? should I send an update on top of this patch?

thanks
