I read the code again, and find it is okay.

We cannot succeed to request a channel when the drv->remove() is called.
Please see __device_release_driver:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
if (dev->bus && dev->bus->remove)
dev->bus->remove(dev);
else if (drv->remove)
drv->remove(dev);
device_links_driver_cleanup(dev);
dma_deconfigure(dev);
devres_release_all(dev); ============> Devres release
---------------------------------------------------------------------
For the DMA engine driver, there is only one case which will calls
drv->remove():
Use the rmmod(or modprobe -r).
We do not use the device_link_add API for DMA engines.
And we not manually call the device_release_driver() for DMA engines.
But when we use the rmmod, the module state will be MODULE_STATE_GOING.
In the find_candidate(), dma_chan_get() will fail.
And we cannot get a channel.
Please correct me if I am wrong :)
