edma_trigger_channel() maybe? Brings consistency with
edma_alloc_channel() edma_free_channel() etc.

May be actually check for no-event association before you trigger in
software? You can do that by looking at unused channel list, no?

edma_shadow0_write_array(ctlr, SH_ESR, channel >> 5, mask) is no less
readable, but I leave it to you.
