How can we do that when it actually depends on how the primecell is wired
and the characteristics of the DMA controller to which it is connected?

host->size never goes to zero when DMA is in progress, as it doesn't
track the progress of the transfer.  That's only tracked with PIO,
and the remainder is calculated on error from the primecells counters.
