You mean the dmaengine? According to "14.1.3 Master to Slave Access"
that's already the case.

Only DMAC0 can access the NFC SRAM and it's done through DMAC0:IF0,
then access to DDR is going through port DDR port 1 (DMAC0:IF1) or 2
(DMAC0:IF0).

Yep, Nicolas suggested something similar. Peter, can you try that?
