I would have expected peripheral to deassert the DMA request but I
haven't read the TRM so detail and experimenting with bigger period
sizes didn't work so some /dev/null effect was obviously happening :-)

This is worth to experiment. Probably more interrupts with or without
application wakeup reduction does not increase power as much as the
savings are from core clocks being more idle.
