No. It is channel specific. A channel has 64 HW legacy descriptors(see rz_dmac_chan_probe function) and 16 rz_dmac_desc( see rz_dmac_chan_resources function)

It is a 32 bit value represent channel config value which supplied by each client driver during slave config.
It contains information like transfer mode,src/destination data size, Ack mode, Level type, DMA request on rising edge or falling
Edge, request direction etc...

For eg:- The channel config for SSI tx is (0x11228).
An example usage can be found here [1]
