fluke_get_dma_residue() returns unsigned int with -1 as error code.
This error cannot be caught.
Fix this by changing the return type of the function to int and 
returning the error code, that was captured. Also, change the data 
type of variable residue to int in the function fluke_dma_read().

As a side note, out of 21  dmaengine_pause() callers, just 3 check
the return value, spanning spi, stanging, tty, sound: core and soc

This exact same problem is in staging/gpib/fmh_gpib/fmh_gpib.c
unsigned int fmh_gpib_get_dma_residue() returns -1

This could be a dev_err using dma_chan_dev

Looks good to me.
