It is not that simple ;)
eDMA consists of Channel Controller(s) and Transfer Controllers. In AM335x we
have 1 CC and 3 TC. TC is mostly a box for us, we do not need to configure
anything within so the eDMA driver stack just does that: do not touch anything
TC related in TC address space, we only deal with the CC.
But in order to be able to move data around we need both CC and the TCs
enabled and this is why we have the multiple hwmod. with pm_runtime we manage
both CC and TCs at the same time.
But from the SW point of view the TC does not really exists. As I said we only
touch CC registers, paRAM entries.

And yes, both TC and CCs can generate interrupts.

So it is not straight forward to separate the TC from the CC driver (edma3).
