They don't connect explicitly. Transfers are done implicitly
through nGene ring-buffers. See demux_tasklet(). CXD code
seems to be used only for CAM commands and setup (only) of
data transfers.

Unfortunately, I don't have nGene (and CXD) chip
documentation, so I stopped solving the problem myself. I
don't want to write software by guessing how HW works.
