Thanks for going through this and fixing the MCI/DMA-combo on AVR32.

This comment gives me no information, I don't know what CTLL and SMS are, and
what does the magic value 1 do? Either skip the comment, or give a short
block here describing why src_master must be one, and max_mem_width must be 2.

Something like:

/*
 * Setup DMA controller to let source be master, and transfer width to
 * 32-bit.
 */
slave->sdata.src_master = 1;
slave->sdata.max_mem_width = 2;
