> normally provided to avoid a data burst overflowing the target FIFO.
> It does not mean that the DMA engine can only do bursts in that size.

> Let the driver pick the largest supported burst length within the
> given limit. This lets the driver work correctly with some clients that
> give a large maxburst value. In particular, the 8250_dw driver will give
> a quarter of the UART's FIFO size as maxburst. On some systems the FIFO
> size is 256 bytes, giving a maxburst of 64 bytes, while the hardware
> only supports bursts of up to 16 bytes.
