[ Upstream commit 7178c3586a ]
maxburst, as provided by the client, specifies the largest amount of
data that is allowed to be transferred in one burst. This limit is
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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
