> device tree schema, implement the property to define the DMA transfer
> threshold (from a hard coded value of 16 bytes) so that lesser number of
> bytes can be transferred safely skipping DMA in such controllers. The
> value of 16 bytes stays as the default for controllers which do not
> define it. This value can be overridden by implementation-specific init
> sequences.
