Hi Brian Smith ,
Your are right, in the FRDM-K22 on board K22 chip, the SPI1 share the transmit and receive request.
So, in my opinion, if you want to use both the Transmit and receive DMA function, it's better to use SPI0 interface, it has the separated request source:

Wish it helps you!
If you still have question about it, please kindly let me know.
Have a great day,
Kerry
