Looks good. Will update in next version. We took reference from discard.

Nack, writing 0 will not set it to default value. (default value is
copy_max_bytes = copy_max_bytes_hw)

Nack, value is in bytes. Same as discard.

Agreed, we will make MAX_COPY_TOTAL_LENGTH explicit to bytes.
We also check this limit against user payload length which is in bytes(patch 2).
So there is a inconsistency from our end (patch 1 and 2). We will fix this
in next version.
