I am not sure that’s right. Reading the dmaengine docs, DMA requests seem to have
to do with the DMA-controller-to-peripheral connection, but the proposed property
tells us which of four independent IRQ outputs of the DMA controller we actually
have in the interrupts= property. That is, it has to do with the DMA-controller-to-CPU
connection.

(I took the liberty of correcting my typo in the quotation.)
