Just looking at this now.

Although I agree that the "dst_event_group == STEDMA40_DEV_DST_MEMORY
(-16)" issue can/should be split out prior, I don't think this
"(src_event_group != dst_event_group)" should be, as it is a direct
result of the code that's being changed in this patch here. It makes
no sense to remove it before this patch, as it's still valid and
removing it afterwards violates your break-now, fix-later stipulation.
