+//! DMA driver for MCXA276.
+//!
+//! This module provides a typed channel abstraction over the EDMA_0_TCD0 array
+//! and helpers for configuring the channel MUX. The driver supports both
+//! low-level TCD configuration and higher-level async transfer APIs.
+//!
+//! # Architecture
+//!
+//! The MCXA276 has 8 DMA channels (0-7), each with its own interrupt vector.
+//! Each channel has a Transfer Control Descriptor (TCD) that defines the
+//! transfer parameters.
+//!
+//! # Choosing the Right API
+//!
+//! This module provides several API levels to match different use cases:
+//!
+//! ## High-Level Async API (Recommended for Most Users)
+//!
+//! Use the async methods when you want simple, safe DMA transfers:
+//!
+//! | Method | Description |
+//! |--------|-------------|
+//! | [`DmaChannel::mem_to_mem()`] | Memory-to-memory copy |
+//! | [`DmaChannel::memset()`] | Fill memory with a pattern |
+//! | [`DmaChannel::write()`] | Memory-to-peripheral (TX) |
+//! | [`DmaChannel::read()`] | Peripheral-to-memory (RX) |
+//!
+//! These return a [`Transfer`] future that can be `.await`ed:
+//!
+//! ```no_run
+//! # use embassy_mcxa::dma::{DmaChannel, TransferOptions};
+//! # let dma_ch = DmaChannel::new(p.DMA_CH0);
+//! # let src = [0u32; 4];
+//! # let mut dst = [0u32; 4];
+//! // Simple memory-to-memory transfer
+//! unsafe {
+//!     dma_ch.mem_to_mem(&src, &mut dst, TransferOptions::default()).await;
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Setup Methods (For Peripheral Drivers)
+//!
+//! Use setup methods when you need manual lifecycle control:
+//!
+//! | Method | Description |
+//! |--------|-------------|
+//! | [`DmaChannel::setup_write()`] | Configure TX without starting |
+//! | [`DmaChannel::setup_read()`] | Configure RX without starting |
+//!
+//! These configure the TCD but don't start the transfer. You control:
+//! 1. When to call [`DmaChannel::enable_request()`]
+//! 2. How to detect completion (polling or interrupts)
+//! 3. When to clean up with [`DmaChannel::clear_done()`]
+//!
+//! ## Circular/Ring Buffer API (For Continuous Reception)
+//!
+//! Use [`DmaChannel::setup_circular_read()`] for continuous data reception:
+//!
+//! ```no_run
+//! # use embassy_mcxa::dma::DmaChannel;
+//! # let dma_ch = DmaChannel::new(p.DMA_CH0);
+//! # let uart_rx_addr = 0x4000_0000 as *const u8;
+//! static mut RX_BUF: [u8; 64] = [0; 64];
+//!
+//! let ring_buf = unsafe {
+//!     dma_ch.setup_circular_read(uart_rx_addr, &mut RX_BUF)
+//! };
+//!
+//! // Read data as it arrives
+//! let mut buf = [0u8; 16];
+//! let n = ring_buf.read(&mut buf).await.unwrap();
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Scatter-Gather Builder (For Chained Transfers)
+//!
+//! Use [`ScatterGatherBuilder`] for complex multi-segment transfers:
+//!
+//! ```no_run
+//! # use embassy_mcxa::dma::{DmaChannel, ScatterGatherBuilder};
+//! # let dma_ch = DmaChannel::new(p.DMA_CH0);
+//! let mut builder = ScatterGatherBuilder::<u32>::new();
+//! builder.add_transfer(&src1, &mut dst1);
+//! builder.add_transfer(&src2, &mut dst2);
+//!
+//! let transfer = unsafe { builder.build(&dma_ch).unwrap() };
+//! transfer.await;
+//! ```
+//!
+//! ## Direct TCD Access (For Advanced Use Cases)
+//!
+//! For full control, use the channel's `tcd()` method to access TCD registers directly.
+//! See the `dma_*` examples for patterns.
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! ```no_run
+//! use embassy_mcxa::dma::{DmaChannel, TransferOptions, Direction};
+//!
+//! let dma_ch = DmaChannel::new(p.DMA_CH0);
+//! // Configure and trigger a transfer...
+//! ```

+// DMA Transfer Methods - API Overview
+// ============================================================================
+//
+// The DMA API provides two categories of methods for configuring transfers:
+//
+// ## 1. Async Methods (Return `Transfer` Future)
+//
+// These methods return a [`Transfer`] Future that must be `.await`ed:
+//
+// - [`write()`](DmaChannel::write) - Memory-to-peripheral using default eDMA TCD block
+// - [`read()`](DmaChannel::read) - Peripheral-to-memory using default eDMA TCD block
+// - [`write_to_peripheral()`](DmaChannel::write_to_peripheral) - Memory-to-peripheral with custom eDMA TCD block
+// - [`read_from_peripheral()`](DmaChannel::read_from_peripheral) - Peripheral-to-memory with custom eDMA TCD block
+// - [`mem_to_mem()`](DmaChannel::mem_to_mem) - Memory-to-memory using default eDMA TCD block
+// - [`transfer_mem_to_mem()`](DmaChannel::transfer_mem_to_mem) - Memory-to-memory with custom eDMA TCD block
+//
+// The `Transfer` manages the DMA lifecycle automatically:
+// - Enables channel request
+// - Waits for completion via async/await
+// - Cleans up on completion
+//
+// **Important:** `Transfer::Drop` aborts the transfer if dropped before completion.
+// This means you MUST `.await` the Transfer or it will be aborted when it goes out of scope.
+//
+// **Use case:** When you want to use async/await and let the Transfer handle lifecycle management.
+//
+// ## 2. Setup Methods (Configure TCD Only)
+//
+// These methods configure the TCD but do NOT return a `Transfer`:
+//
+// - [`setup_write()`](DmaChannel::setup_write) - Memory-to-peripheral using default eDMA TCD block
+// - [`setup_read()`](DmaChannel::setup_read) - Peripheral-to-memory using default eDMA TCD block
+// - [`setup_write_to_peripheral()`](DmaChannel::setup_write_to_peripheral) - Memory-to-peripheral with custom eDMA TCD block
+// - [`setup_read_from_peripheral()`](DmaChannel::setup_read_from_peripheral) - Peripheral-to-memory with custom eDMA TCD block
+//
+// The caller is responsible for the complete DMA lifecycle:
+// 1. Call [`enable_request()`](DmaChannel::enable_request) to start the transfer
+// 2. Poll [`is_done()`](DmaChannel::is_done) or use interrupts to detect completion
+// 3. Call [`disable_request()`](DmaChannel::disable_request), [`clear_done()`](DmaChannel::clear_done),
+//    [`clear_interrupt()`](DmaChannel::clear_interrupt) for cleanup
+//
+// **Use case:** Peripheral drivers (like LPUART) that implement their own `poll_fn`-based
+// completion mechanism and cannot use the `Transfer` Future approach.
+//
+// ============================================================================
