I forgot to mention, I'm using PIO. (The rk3399.dts in linux-next
doesn't even have the 'dma{s,-names}' properties listed for spi[0-5].)

I don't know what that file is, but presumably it's some kind of bare
SPI test interface you have in your private tree?

And this means a 64KiB + 1 transfer using DMA timed out?

And a 64KiB transfer using DMA completed successfully?

So maybe there's a driver bug in the PIO path that gives us an
off-by-one error. I poked around a bit and couldn't figure out anything,
so I sent this. Technically, this patch is still valid (even if not
optimal) for the DMA case too...

If you can't figure out what the difference is, and you really don't
want to unnecessarily limit the DMA case, then a last resort hack could
be to say:

static size_t rockchip_spi_max_transfer_size(struct spi_device *device)
{
	if (using dma) // this is obviously pseudocode
		return SZ_64K;
	else
		return SZ_64K - 1;
}

or something like that.
