Best explanation is my reply to your comments on 0/3. In summary, the
direction allows the edma driver to select the src vs dst addr_width and
maxburst fields to be used to calculate the max segment size that can
be handled.

Ok, I can take a stab at this...I didn't bother initially as I don't
have user for that info at this point. Though, I suppose we don't have
an immediate user for the cap_mask either.

ok, will fix.
