We have never supported PIO mode with STM32 variant.
We only support DMA single buffer or DMA LLI.
As we cannot have DMA LLI for unaligned access, we'll default to single 
mode.
If allocation fails, it then won't work.
Maybe we shouldn't fail here, and just check idma->bounce_buf in 
validate data function. If buffer is not allocated, we just return 
-EINVAL as it was done before.

Best regards,
Yann
