This is just plain mainline, there is nothing special about my
git tree...

Yeah it appears I went in and marked msp2 "okay" in
commit 70b41abc151f9 so that is causing it, I'll make a
quick fix to get rid of that.

But no matter whether it gets activated or not: should it not just
work anyway? This message seems to suggest the DMA
channel assignment is invalid.
