Thanks!

Even after you pointed that out...I had to stare real hard to see it. I 
guess the brain corrects what you see.

To be honest, I was not able to fully understand the issue in detail. I was getting information through someone that was not in the design team. So to be fair to the chip design guys, I want to avoid the word "broken".
They took the bit out of the hardware manual, and since the HW was designed to work either way (and the default register setting is for fixed), I consider it an 'unsupported feature'.

So, how about a compromise of:

#define SDHI_INTERNAL_DMAC_ADDR_MODE_FIXED_ONLY 2

I don't think this applies to Gen3. This is just a RZ/A2 thing.

With that said, there are some Gen3 HW bugs that are in RZ/A2 HW, like the QSPI read bug. Since the RZ/A2 has the exact same HW as Gen3, it has the same HW bug. Now that one is a "bug", and I don't mind calling that one broken.
