Looks correct now,

I have one idea for an optimization though:

There is already a "dma_request" member in "struct imxdma_channel", so
you could use that instead of allocating the imx_dma_data here.

Then you don't need to keep track of freeing that memory again, but
you might have to change a few other functions that look at data->dma_request
rather than chan->dma_request at the moment and change them to
use the latter instead. You can copy data->dma_request over in the
alloc_chan_resources functions for the legacy case.
