I retract this comment.

Prior to bd2e75633c8012fc8a7431c82fda66237133bf7e,
the descriptor table for ADMA is placed within the
32-bit phys address range, not exceeds the 32-bit limit.

Probably, my device is not 64-bit capable.

I will talk to the hardware engineer,
and check the hardware spec just in case.

Thanks.
