Why does the direction needs to be specified in specifier? I see two
options, either the direction per is fixed in hardware. In that case the DMA
controller node should describe which channel is which direction. Or the
direction is not fixed in hardware and can be changed at runtime in which
case it should be set on a per descriptor basis.
