NULL pointer de-reference error was observed when all the PCIe endpoint
functions (22 function in J721E) request a DMA channel. The issue was
specfically observed when using mem-to-mem copy.

Changes from v2:
1) Fix commit subject and commit log to mention bchan/rchan/tchan to NULL
   suggested by Peter.

Changes from v1:
1) Split the patch for BCDMA and PKTDMA separately
2) Fixed the return value of udma_get_rflow() to 0.
3) Removed the fixes tag as the patches does not directly apply to the
commits.

Looks good, however the second patch also fixes the rflow. It is
mentioned in the commit message itself.

I suppose the reason for a split is that the UDMA part
(rchan/tchan/rflow) could be backported as fix for older kernel since
the bchan came later with BCDMA/PKTDMA support?

Can you find a good Fixes tag for these?

dmaengine: ti: k3-udma: Set r/tchan or rflow to NULL if request fail

would have bee a better subject line, if you feel you can send an update.

I'll now add "Cc: <Stable@vger.kernel.org>" so that it gets merged to 5.14. It
doesn't apply cleanly to any of the other stable kernel.

Thank You! Will fix and resend.
