sunxi-mmc: A733 IDMAC stuck in descriptor rea

Hi,
On A733/SUN60IW2, SDMMC0 works with PIO reads but normal IDMAC does not
fetch the first descriptor.
This is on a Radxa Cubie A7S, testing Linux v7.1-rc6-gabc8d07b0a63.
The failing transfer is a single 8-block CMD18. After starting IDMAC:
IDST = 0x00004000
CHDA = DLBA
CBDA = 0
CBCR = 0x400
BBCR = 0
descriptor OWN is still set
The descriptor memory is unchanged after syncing for CPU, so this looks
like the controller never reads descriptor word 0.
I have already checked the obvious descriptor/DMA cases: 4K descriptor
size, shifted descriptor/data addresses, descriptor memory below 4G,
coherent vs streaming descriptors, and the normal-IDMAC 64-bit DMA mask
used by the vendor tree.
Is there an A733-specific clock/reset, MBUS/NSI, firewall, or firmware
handoff bit needed before SDMMC0 IDMAC can access memory?
I can send the full boot log and instrumented dmesg if useful.
Thanks for your time,
