I went over all MMC drivers to see what else sets a max_seg_size
smaller than a page and found these:

drivers/mmc/host/alcor.c:       mmc->max_seg_size = AU6601_MAX_DMA_BLOCK_SIZE; // 0x1000
drivers/mmc/host/au1xmmc.c:             mmc->max_seg_size = AU1100_MMC_DESCRIPTOR_SIZE; // 64K-1
drivers/mmc/host/dw_mmc.c:              mmc->max_seg_size = 0x1000;
drivers/mmc/host/meson-gx-mmc.c:        mmc->max_seg_size = mmc->max_req_size; //  1536 bytes
drivers/mmc/host/mmci_stm32_sdmmc.c:            host->mmc->max_seg_size = host->variant->stm32_idmabsize_mask; //  GENMASK(12, 5),
drivers/mmc/host/sunxi-mmc.c:   mmc->max_seg_size       = (1 << host->cfg->idma_des_size_bits); // 1 << 13, only on arm32
drivers/mmc/host/wmt-sdmmc.c:   .max_seg_size = 65024, 

I've tried to add the maintainers to Cc here, these likely all
need attention to work with large page sizes, in case of
meson-gx-mmc it even seems like the limit is less than a 4KB
page, so it will stop working entirely.

There are also a couple of drivers that look like they have
an off-by-one error and pass a segment size of one less than
a power-off-two number, e.g.:

drivers/mmc/host/davinci_mmc.c: mmc->max_seg_size       = MAX_CCNT * rw_threshold;  // (64k-1) * 32
drivers/mmc/host/atmel-mci.c:           mmc->max_seg_size = mmc->max_blk_size * mmc->max_segs; // 4095*256

I think some of these are intentional, while others are
probably bugs.
