Hi Sergei,

Thank you for the patch.

I'm not sure there's a need to state my name in the commit message.

Why does the text in your patches (commit message, comments, ...) sometime 
have double spaces between words ?

Is it every "8 or so" rows, or exactly every 8 rows ?

What else is in the big patch ? Is it available somewhere ?

I'm not sure about the "kinda" magic value. 1536 is very likely a buffer size. 
How about the following text ?

	/*
	 * On V3M the LBA register has to be set to a non-default value to
	 * guarantee proper operation (otherwise artifacts may appear on the
	 * output). The value required by the datasheet is not documented but
	 * is likely a buffer size or threshold.
	 */

The commit message should also be updated to feel a bit less magic.

The datasheet documents the register as being present on both V3M and M3-W 
(and the test I've just run on H3 shows that the register is present there as 
well). Should we program it on M3-W or leave it to the default value that 
should be what is recommended by the datasheet for that SoC ?
