Done some more digging.  It's not failing the first time it requests the
channel, it's failing sometime later on (after we've been running for a
while but when we've had a substantial idle period).  However it is the
first time we're actually intending to use the channel, previously to
this the transfers would always be too small to trigger DMA.  I'm not
sure that's relevant though as we're not getting far enough to actually
request the channel.

I'm still debugging what's going on here - the basic refcounting all
looks OK in the SPI driver, I can see it requesting and releasing with
the refcounts all going back to zero in the DMA driver as expected but
when we come back to the device later on dmaengine is deciding the
device is unavailable quite early on in the process.
