Certainly it is documented in the header file to have a max of 65535:

 * @max_transfer_size:  The maximum transfer size supported, in bytes
 *                       2047 to 65,535
 *                      Actual maximum value is autodetected and also
 *                      the default.

...but looking at the register definition that I see, the size can be
up to 19 bits.  A 19-bit transfer far exceeds 65535.  Do you remember
what the error was?  Certainly I can imagine there being errors with
large calls to dma_alloc_coherent()...

I know that with Kever's change I can do USB Ethernet downloads, so it
is at least working to some degree.  ...to me it feels like Kever
should resubmit with 65535 (to match the documentation) and then work
in the background to figure out what the max_transfer_size really
ought to be.
