This 2-patch series addresses critical bugs in the amdxdna accelerator driver related to process cleanup and termination. The series fixes a NULL pointer dereference during mailbox channel cleanup and reduces unnecessary log noise during normal process termination.

**Positive Aspects:**
- Addresses a real crash (GPF) found in testing
- Clear problem description with call path documentation
- Defensive programming approach with NULL checks

**Critical Issues:**
1. **Patch 1 has already been fixed upstream** - Reviewer Lizhi Hou points out that an equivalent fix was already posted at https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/20260206060306.4050531-1-lizhi.hou@amd.com/
2. **Code duplication** - The else branch in patch 1 duplicates the `aie2_destroy_context_req()` call unnecessarily
3. **Inconsistent error handling** - Both patches modify error handling but don't follow a consistent pattern
4. **Missing initialization checks** - The patches add defensive NULL checks but don't address why these pointers can be NULL in the first place

**Recommendation:** This series should not be merged as-is. Patch 1 is redundant with an existing fix. Patch 2 may be useful but needs to be rebased and potentially reworked.
