Thanks for the info.
I'd like to keep using polling mode in this patch for easier reviewing.
It's already a pretty lengthy patch now. I may implement IRQ support
in future patches.

My previous test on mt7629 shows that from address also needs to
be aligned. e.g. If I perform a DMA read from 0x2 I actually got data
starting from 0x0 instead.
