Ok, this indicates:
- No valid register at 200C00E0 (KA420_STC_MODE for KA420 to switch DMA size)
- KA43_SC1_DADR/KA420_SCD_DADR (200C00A0),
  KA43_SC1_DCNT/KA420_SCD_DCNT (200C00C0), and
  KA43_SC1_DDIR/KA420_SCD_DDIR (200C00C4) are also available as KA420
- There is some register is at 200C00B0
  (no info at least in <machine/ka43.h>)

So at least it's confirmed that we don't have to manage KA420_STC_MODE
on KA430.
