Few trivial things:

There's no error checking for a malloc failure
This should probably be kcalloc
The alignment here is not nice

Maybe:

num_chan = max_t(size_t, pdat ? pdat->nr_valid_peri : pi->pcfg.num_peri,
pi->pcfg.num_chan);
pdmac->peripherals = kcalloc(num_chan, sizeof(*pch), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!pdmac->peripherals)
goto some_err;
