Is this a fix?
What happens to the data if you don't do this?
As far as I understood the Synopsys DesignWare specification the DMA controller
is capable of flushing FIFO in that case on byte-by-byte basis. Do you have an
HW integration bug?

TL;DR: tell us more about this.

But here no check that you do it for explicitly peripheral to memory, so this
will affect memory to peripheral transfers as well.
