Hmm, this might work. The problem will be with imposing such limitation through
the DW APB SSI driver. In order to do this I need to know:
1) Whether multi-block LLP is supported by the DW DMA controller.
2) Maximum DW DMA transfer block size.
Then I'll be able to use this information in the can_dma() callback to enable
the DMA xfers only for the safe transfers. Did you mean something like this when
you said "There's code for that bit already" ? If you meant the max_dma_len
parameter, then setting it won't work, because it just limits the SG items size
not the total length of a single transfer.

So the question is of how to export the multi-block LLP flag from DW DMAc
driver. Andy?
