So my suspicion was correct.  I would suggest you to read up on the
documentation again. The src/dst_addr_widths has _nothing_ to do with 32/64
bit addresses used.

It is the capability of the dma controller to do transfers with data width as
8bits, 16 bits, so on. iKey is "data width" and not address type.
This typically translates to DMA FIFO configuration of the controller!
