This leaves me more confused. If different writes from the same agent
are being distinguished then it sounds like you actually have two
logical DMA channels.

Could you elaborate on the qcom,ebi2-nand binding? From a brief read I'd
expect you to have "txrx" and "cmd" dmas, rather than describing the
CRCI information on the side.
