I have just enabled this config and move off the kernel fix and test, there seems the debug API 
has no output for this size incorrect issue. For I only enable the config and no other operations 
and my kernel is 4.9, do I missed something?

I confirm that the debug API is working, for there are other drivers triggered its warning output 
like:
 
caam_jr 1710000.jr: DMA-API: device driver tries to free DMA memory it has not allocated 
[device address=0x6800458400000000]
