Right, we had test it with 8x64 pixels. the limitation would be decided
by memory bus length(ML), DMA burst length(DL) and pixel size in bytes(PS).
And that can be calculated like below, which was guided by hardware team,

Align { (ML * DI / PS) + (4bytes / PS), 2}

It seems too big value. Actually, 16 pixels works well and I don't see
why it woks well although out of limitation.
