Subject: [PATCH v4 4/5] g_NCR5380: Limit PDMA send to 512 B to avoid random
 corruption on DTC3181E

From: Ondrej Zary <linux@...nbow-software.org>

The corruption is always the same: one byte missing at the beginning of
a 128 B block. It happens only with slow Quantum LPS 240 drive, not with
faster IBM DORS-32160. It's not clear what causes this. Documentation
for the DTC436 chip has not been made available. Hence this workaround.
