More precisely, channels_min alone is not sufficient. The codec DAI must
also support capture (or be the dummy DAI for a dynamic link), and the link
must not be playback_only.

Under those conditions, the path is:

  soc_new_pcm()
    -> soc_get_playback_capture()
    -> soc_create_pcm(..., capture = 1)
    -> snd_pcm_new()
    -> snd_pcm_new_stream(CAPTURE, 1)
    -> snd_soc_pcm_component_new()
    -> dmaengine_pcm_new()

dmaengine_pcm_request_chan_of() tolerates a missing "rx" channel and leaves
pcm->chan[CAPTURE] NULL. Once the capture substream exists,
dmaengine_pcm_new() returns -EINVAL with
"Missing dma channel for stream: 1".
The conditional initialization prevents the CPU DAI from advertising that
direction for a tx-only node.
