[PATCH 16/16] i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Increase DMA transfer ring size to maximum

From: Adrian Hunter

Date: Thu Apr 16 2026 - 14:00:04 EST


The DMA transfer ring is currently limited to 16 entries, despite the
MIPI I3C HCI supporting up to 32 devices. When the ring lacks space for a
new transfer list, the driver returns -EBUSY, which can be unexpected
for clients.

Increase the DMA transfer ring size to the maximum supported value of
255 entries. This effectively eliminates ring-space exhaustion in
practice and avoids the complexity of adding secondary queuing
mechanisms.

Even at the maximum size, the memory overhead remains small
(approximately 24 bytes per entry by default).
