When minor loop linking is enabled (TCDn_CITER[E_LINK] = 1), the
TCDn_CITER[CITER] field uses a nine bit vector to form the current iteration count.
When minor loop linking is disabled (TCDn_CITER[E_LINK] = 0), the
TCDn_CITER[CITER] field uses a 15-bit vector to form the current iteration count. The
bits associated with the TCDn_CITER[LINKCH] field are concatenated onto the CITER
value to increase the range of the CITER.
Note
The TCDn_CITER[E_LINK] bit and the
TCDn_BITER[E_LINK] bit must equal or a configuration error
is reported. The CITER and BITER vector widths must be
equal to calculate the major loop, half-way done interrupt point.
The following table summarizes how a DMA channel can link to another DMA channel,
i.e, use another channel's TCD, at the end of a loop.

13.5.7 Dynamic programming
This section provides recommended methods to change the programming model during
channel execution.
13.5.7.1 Dynamically changing the channel priority
The following two options are recommended for dynamically changing channel priority
levels:
1. Switch to Round-Robin Channel Arbitration mode, change the channel priorities,
then switch back to Fixed Arbitration mode,
2. Disable all the channels, change the channel priorities, then enable the appropriate
channels.
