[PATCH/RFC,1/6] dma-mapping: Convert NO_DMA get_dma_ops() into a real dummy

Commit Message

Geert Uytterhoeven Feb. 6, 2018, 10:14 a.m. UTC

If NO_DMA=y, get_dma_ops() returns a reference to the
non-existing symbol bad_dma_ops, thus causing a link failure if it is
ever used.

Make get_dma_ops() return NULL instead, to avoid the link failure.
This allows to improve compile-testing, and limits the need to keep on
sprinkling dependencies on HAS_DMA all over the place.
