Subject: [PATCH 02/10] dmaengine: fsldma: check dma_async_device_register() return value

From: Rosen Penev <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2026 15:01:26 -0700

Check the return value of dma_async_device_register() in the probe
path and propagate errors instead of silently returning success.
Previously, a registration failure would cause a NULL pointer
dereference in list_del_rcu() during remove when
dma_async_device_unregister() tried to remove the device's
global_node from a list it was never added to.
