Indeed. But not for all of them. E.g. RSPI is missing, IIC is present.
And the numbers are shown in decimal instead of in hex ;-)

The default value is RZV2H_ICU_DMAC_ACK_NO_DEFAULT = 0x7f?
Which I believe already causes you to run into the out-of-range DMACKSELk
register offset in rzv2h_icu_register_dma_req_ack()?

OK.
