I see, I'm not sure if we should proceed with this patch then,
since at least on the older boards with 13 idma_des_size_bits
the current code is likely correct given all the testing it has
seen.

I agree that this should be verified before merging this patch. As for the
documentation, which documentation are you referring too ? At least for the
older sunxi SoCs which I'm familiar with the MMC controller bits were not
documented at all.
