In DMA mode we have a maximum transfer size, past that the driver
falls back to PIO (see the check at the top of pxa2xx_spi_transfer_one).
Falling back to PIO for big transfers defeats the point of a dma engine,
hence set the max transfer size to inform spi clients that they need
to do something smarter.
This won't fix anything by itself, this asks other code to change how it
behaves which may or may not work in older kernels.
I'll drop it then, thanks!
