Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] dmaengine: ti: k3-udma: Fix NULL pointer dereference error for BCDMA

bcdma_get_*() checks if bchan is already allocated by checking if it
has a NON NULL value. For the error cases, bchan will have error value
and bcdma_get_*() considers this as already allocated (PASS) since the
error values are NON NULL. This results in NULL pointer dereference
error while de-referencing bchan.

Reset the value of bchan to NULL if the allocation actually fails.
