The SBUSCFG.AHBBRST property description is just above this one,
and the user should read the spec for changing these system
configuration parameters.

This requirement is from the spec, and the code logic makes sure
the burst size changes only when SBUSCFG.AHBBRST is 0, since the
hardware will only change burst size if SBUSCFG.AHBBRST is 0.

It is optional property, if without this property, it will use the
default value.

Yes, the default burst size is the same for all SoCs, but the bus
burst size may be larger for some SoCs.
