As the channel can only accept a single cyclic transfer enqueued and no other 
types of transfers (since the HW cannot handle mixed cyclic and non-cyclic 
transfers), the exact scenario described above can only happen if the user of 
this channel terminates the cyclic transfer before it even prepared it. I don't 
think that is a valid case.

Thank you,
Claudiu
