The current code will tie up the bus for longer than my fix does, since it only calls sdw_transfer once, and it will write the wrong registers whilst doing it. Also to be clear this wasn't found with super large transfers just medium sized ones that happened to cross a page boundry. If we want to add some transaction size capping that is really a new feature, this patch a bug fix. I would also be inclined to say if we are going to add transaction size capping, we probably want some property to specify what we are capping to.
