We were supposed to send a v2 with description after your review, by the time the other patch got merged.

Now we prepared an incremental patch just for updating the description and it is under internal review.

Why you think this description won't fix the issue with multiple DMACS?

It will cover all the invalid cases for eg: Num DMACs = 5

{rx} --> Covered by DMA specifiers with at least one for transmission and one for reception.
{tx}
{rx, rx, rx, rx, rx, rx } --> Covered by the total number of DMACs available on the SoC.
{tx, tx, tx, tx, tx, tx }
....
....
