Oh, one more thing. Changing the priority won't necessarily solve your
problem because of that:

"
If more than one master requests the slave bus, regardless of the
respective masters priorities, no master will be granted
the slave bus for two consecutive runs. A master can only get
back-to-back grants so long as it is the only requesting
master.
"

To solve that, you'll have to play with MATRIX_MCFGy.ULBT (make sure
DMAC0 and DMAC1 have a small enough ULBT that is not 0) or
MATRIX_SCFGx.SLOT_CYCLE (that one is probably harder to get right
since it's expressed in AHB clock cycles).
