In DMA mode we have a maximum transfer size, past that the driver
falls back to PIO (see the check at the top of pxa2xx_spi_transfer_one).
Falling back to PIO for big transfers defeats the point of a dma engine,
hence set the max transfer size to inform spi clients that they need
to do something smarter.
This was uncovered by the drm_mipi_dbi spi panel code, which does
large spi transfers, but stopped splitting them after:

drm/tinydrm: Remove tinydrm_spi_max_transfer_size()
After this commit the code relied on the spi core to split transfers
into max dma-able blocks, which also papered over the PIO fallback issue.
Fix this by setting the overall max transfer size to the DMA limit,
but only when the controller runs in DMA mode.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
