Ah, right - we don't really expose the resulting component to the drivers. Although we don't appear to have any drivers doing the open coding you suggest? The active use case we have is for drivers (currently only the STM32 SAI AFAICT) that always do DMA but only do one direction (not half duplex, a single direction on a given DAI). They don't want to fall back to PIO, they want to know which channel is valid. It's not just a DMA/no DMA question, it's also which of the DMA channels are valid.
