I looked a bit more into the code and in DMA case, using postenable 
first will lead to calling attach pollfunc, which will also enable the 
trigger, but the DMA is not yet started.
Is this the desired effect ? Normally when using DMA I would say we 
would need to enable DMA first to be ready to carry data (and coherent 
area etc.) and then enable the trigger.
