struct dma_tx_state defines residue as u32. atc_get_bytes_left() returned an int which could be either an error or the value of the residue. This could cause problems if the controller supported a u32 buffer transfer size and the u32 value was past the max int can hold. Our controller does not support u32 buffer transfer size, but even so, improve the code and pass the residue by address to avoid unnecessary implicit casts and make atc_get_bytes_left() return 0 on success or -errno on errors.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
