Thank you, yes it should be good to apply this series to 5.7 because the
Tegra APBDMA driver dependency-patches are already in 5.7.

The stable tag shouldn't be needed since this is not a critical bug fix
and the DMA driver patches are not going into stable. This series should
be more actual for the upcoming devices, which should be upstreamed in 5.8+.
