No, because the test driver is meant to test the endpoint functions
(including the endpoint controller and its capabilities, so they test
if BARs can be read, if IRQs of each type can be sent, if transfers
work, etc.) so it is by design that it allows to ask for transfer with
or without DMA, this allows to test they both work. Also in real case
scenarios on DMA capable devices DMA will not always be used (e.g.,
small transfers where the overhead of DMA setup is bigger than just
doing memcpy_from/toio().

You are right, that would avoid the duplicated code, I will do so for v3.

Thank you for your comments,
Best regards.
