Oops, I guess I meant s/three/two/ :-)
It seems that given there are two values for dma-names, there really are
two channels; it's just that one channel is bi-directional, and the
second has two alternatives.
Still, I guess you could also view this as three separate channels
instead. In which case, the text below makes sense.
