What exactly is wrong with this?

I did not observe data corruption. Passing desc_rx to
dma_wait_for_async_tx looks odd on closer inspection, though. Will
look through some other spi driver code.

Who actually does?

It accomplishes the transfer with burst size of 1 so that's good enough.

Researching alignment requirements and other oddities of Chinese
controllers when larger burst size is used can be topic for another
patch.

It does not seem to conflict in practice.
