Well right.

Some peripherals support 32-bit DMA over an 16-bit DAB (taking 2x
cycles) , some not.

NFC is one that doesn't support this.

Whole story - Cliff skyped me this morning about the BF52x NFC DMA
problem.
In return I called Andrew C. and asked him about the NFC and associated
software differences between NFC on 54x and 52x.

Straight came the answer BF52x DMA must be WDSIZE_16 !!!
