Can you elaborate on this? What are they? The request IDs on both ends
of the transfers?

+  - bit 12-11: DWIDTH, data width.
I'd rather see those as generic properties.
Actually these are standard settings that a slave driver
configures using dma_slave_config. They don't belong into
DT at all, as they are slave driver specific.
