Subject: [PATCH] dmaengine: sun6i: Set the maximum segment size

The sun6i DMA engine supports segment sizes up to 2^25-1 bytes. This is
explicitly stated in newer SoC documentation (H6, D1), and it is implied
in older documentation by the 25-bit width of the "bytes left in the
current segment" register field.

Exposing the real segment size limit (instead of the 64k default)
reduces the number of SG list segments needed for a transaction.

Tested on A64, verified that the maximum ALSA PCM period increased, and
that audio playback still worked.

At least A10 user manual says 128k max in description for Byte Counter
register (0x100+N*0x20+0xC), although field size is defined as 23:0, but that's
still less than 2^25-1. A20 supports only 128k too according to manual. New
quirk should be introduced for this.

Best regards,
Jernej

Thanks for checking this. A10 and A20 use a separate driver (sun4i-dma). That
driver will also benefit from setting the max segment size, so I will send a
patch for it.

I think all of the variants supported by sun6i-dma have the same segment size
capability, so no quirk is needed here.

Regards,
Samuel

Ah, yes. Then this patch is:

Similarly to my comment on the DRM patch, "SZ_32M - 1" might be clearer
here.

Thanks,
