[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 22/52] Revert "dmaengine: qcom_hidma: Check for driver register failure"

[Sasha Levin]

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

[ Upstream commit 43ed0fcf613a87dd0221ec72d1ade4d6544f2ffc ]

This reverts commit a474b3f0428d6b02a538aa10b3c3b722751cb382.

Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted.  It will be fixed up "correctly" in a
later kernel change.

The original change is NOT correct, as it does not correctly unwind from
the resources that was allocated before the call to
platform_driver_register().

[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 23/52] dmaengine: qcom_hidma: comment platform_driver_register call

[Sasha Levin]

From: Phillip Potter <phil@philpotter.co.uk>

[ Upstream commit 4df2a8b0ad634d98a67e540a4e18a60f943e7d9f ]

Place a comment in hidma_mgmt_init explaining why success must
currently be assumed, due to the cleanup issue that would need to
be considered were this module ever to be unloadable or were this
platform_driver_register call ever to fail.
