[Missed in previous email]

Actually the defaults came from original driver for AVR32 case.

Regarding to DW DMA databook the AHB masters could be used each by any
channel, though it depends on what AHB layer is bound to (and
corresponding peripheral device).

Thus, like I said we might have the [minor] performance issues if we
use, for example, two out of four masters.
