I mentioned the lack of description of feature in manual.
When we consider the real meaning of DMA_INTERFACE, '0' value doen't indicate the absence of idmac.
So, we cannot decide  the support of idmac with the DMA_INTERFACE.

Do you mean this patch:"mmc: dwmmc: Add quirk for broken Hardware Config"?
HCON register in the original Synopsys doesn't include information of internal dmac.
Do you think it's also broken?
