pnp: restore automatic resolution of DMA conflicts
To fix a 5-year-old regression, reverse changes made by commit 7ef3639 (PNP: don't fail device init if no DMA channel available). As an example to show the problem, my sound card provides a prioritized list of PnP "dependent sets" of requested resources: dependent set 0 (preferred) wants DMA 5. dependent set 1 (acceptable) will take DMA 5, 6, or 7. ... dependent set 4 (acceptable) doesn't request a high DMA. If DMA 5 is not available, pnp_assign_dma has to fail on set 0 so that pnp_auto_config_dev will move on to set 1 and get DMA 6 or 7. Instead, pnp_assign_dma adds the resource with flags |= IORESOURCE_DISABLED and returns success. pnp_auto_config_dev just sees success and therefore chooses set 0 with a disabled DMA and never tries the sets that would have resolved the conflict. Furthermore, this mode of "success" is unexpected and unhandled in sound/isa/sb and probably other drivers. sb assumes that the returned DMA is enabled and obliviously uses the invalid DMA number. Observed consequences were sb successfully grabbing a DMA that was expressly forbidden by the kernel parameter pnp_reserve_dma. The only upside to the original change would be as a kludge for devices that can operate in degraded mode without a DMA but that don't provide the corresponding non-preferred dependent set. The right workaround for those devices is to synthesize the missing set in quirks.c; otherwise, you're reinventing PnP fallback functionality at the driver level for that device and all others.
