Looks like this changes the value of the returned enum from:
DMA_NONE: 3
DMA_TRANS_NONE: 4

Hopefully the DMA maintainer can review if this was ever correct?
Looks like the callers of ep93xx_dma_chan_direction were comparing
this return type, so those comparisons would likely always be failing
if `!ep93xx_dma_chan_is_m2p(chan)`.

Normally this warning (-Wenum-conversion) is kind of noisey, but it's
concerning when the enumerated values evaluate to different integers.
I think it's found an actual bug here.
