It returns int because dma_get_slave_caps() check parameters and some other
stuff.
Regarding device_caps() callback having a return value. IMO it's redundant.
The only thing what the callback should do is to update the caps and device
is supposed to know it' capabilities, otherwise who else should know? So I
don't see why device_caps would be needed.
