Make knav_dma_open_channel consistently return NULL on error instead
of ERR_PTR. Currently the header include/linux/soc/ti/knav_dma.h
returns NULL when the driver is disabled, but the driver
implementation does not even return NULL or ERR_PTR on failure,
causing inconsistency in the users. This results in a crash in
netcp_free_navigator_resources as followed (trimmed):
Unhandled fault: alignment exception (0x221) at 0xfffffff2

Standardize the error handling by making the function return NULL on
all error conditions. The API is used in just the netcp_core.c so the
impact is limited.
