This patch has already been rejected by Maxime in the threads http://www.spinics.net/lists/dmaengine/msg08610.html and http://www.spinics.net/lists/dmaengine/msg08719.html
I hope you will find the way he wants for this maxburst to be added.
I was about to reply to Mylene's e-mail, suggesting that she should add a comment in the code (and maybe in the commit log) to explain why this addition is needed, and also that even though the schematics say that value "1" (max burst size of 4 bytes) is reserved, it is in fact incorrect. The Allwinner BSP code is really using this value, and it's the value that makes audio work, so we believe the datasheet is simply incorrect.
We already discussed it with Maxime, so I believe he should agree this time. But I would suggest to have such details explained in the commit log and in a comment in the code.
Best regards,
Thomas
