When we test before apply this patch, it takes around 335 us for 5K(5120) bytes transfer with dwmci controller.
But when we test after apply this patch, it takes 242 us for 5K bytes.
So this patch makes around 38% performance improvement for 5K bytes transfer.
If the transfer size is bigger, then the performance improvement ratio will be increased.

Thanks.
