Hello,
But we found that this commit b85c997d2cfefe7d1f706b85ae46e35a50e3131c ("mmc: sdhci-of-dwcmshc: solve 128MB DMA boundary limitation")
is supported for sdhci host driver, not for eMMC driver

Synopsys-based SDHCI IP does have a limitation of 128MB boundary. But it has already been solved by upstream driver.
FYI:
commit b85c997d2cfefe7d1f706b85ae46e35a50e3131c ("mmc: sdhci-of-dwcmshc:
