You probably mean 

                0: Dev to mem

Related to this, I would recommend not listing bit numbers like this, since 
there
is some amount of confusion regarding how they are counted: zero-based on 
one-based
and LSB-to-MSB or MSB-to-LSB

You can completely avoid this problem by listing them as bit masks:

        0x00000002:
                Logical channel when unset
                Physical channel when set
        0x00000004:
                Direction from device when unset
                Direction to device when unset
        ...

The bit in the example no longer matches the description.

Same typo above.

You can fold these two into the switch statement above.
