Not really. It's not the most obvious one, but anyway a way to enumerate
two types of DMA engines:

"7.1.1 DMA Features List
DMA specific features are:
• Ten fully independent, programmable DMA controller internal M2P/P2M
channels (5 Tx and 5 Rx).
• Two dedicated channels for Memory-to-Memory (M2M) and
Memory-to-External Peripheral Transfers (external M2P/P2M)."

Now the confusing part is that this "M2M" engine is actually used
to transfer to and from *some* devices, like SPI and IDE.
So both engines are capable of M2P and P2M, maybe Cirrus has named
two engines in a sub-optimal way decades ago and this is now a bit
historical naming.
