[PATCH v2 2/2] mmc: dw_mmc: exynos: increase DMA threshold value for exynos7870
From: Kaustabh Chakraborty
Date: Tue Apr 14 2026 - 04:40:18 EST
Exynos 7870 compatible controllers, such as SDIO ones are not able to
perform DMA transfers for small sizes of data (~16 to ~512 bytes),
resulting in cache issues in subsequent transfers. Increase the DMA
transfer threshold to 512 to allow the shorter transfers to take place,
bypassing DMA.
