designware i2s has individual register for channel support. It is like
TCR(0), TCR(1) and so on.. So a macro is defined to capture these
please check below #define

#define TCR(x)      (0x40 * x + 0x034)

and the same is true for capture also. So there is no need for
iteration. Only writing to the particular register will do the work.
