It makes the DMA size match the input data size which doesn't seem
totally unreasonable.

This is all internal to the s3c24xx I2S driver - what this does is
change the parameter passed by the DMA driver to s3c2410_dma_config()
for the I2S DMA channels which is just read blindly.  This parameter is
not exposed to user space.
