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.
