[PATCH 1/2] dmaengine: dw-axi-dmac: Fix AXI burst length encoding
From: Jia Wang
Date: Thu Aug 27 2026 - 20:49:13 EST
The snps,axi-max-burst-len property describes the number of beats in an
AXI burst, while the ARLEN and AWLEN fields encode that value minus one.
The driver keeps axi_rw_burst_len as the actual burst length so that
dma_device.max_burst reports the correct value. However, it also programs
that unencoded value directly into the hardware fields. A value of 256
therefore overflows the 8-bit fields and can cause AXI decode errors.
Subtract one only when constructing hardware descriptors, while keeping
the actual value for dma_device.max_burst.
Fixes: c454d16a7d5a ("dmaengine: dw-axi-dmac: Burst length settings")
