Well, I'd rather leave the comment here. The dw_edma_dir enumeration
only defines the actual device channel direction, while the actual
semantics is determined by the PCIe device residence/configuration
(local + host/end-point, remote + end-point) and is reflected in the
data transfer function - dw_edma_device_transfer(). So as I see it the
comment is more suitable to be left here in the place where the
semantic is actually implemented.
