Okay so fix is only adding NULL assignments, and which was not at all clear
from the changelog. The changelog need to give reviewers and maintainers and
idea on why a change was done and the details of the fix.

Since this is not a revert and only fix, I would prefer this to be removed
from fix, if you want to remove these please do send a second patch as this
has nothing to do with the fix

While at it, also change the patch title to dmaengine: ....
