scsi: zorro_esp: Limit DMA transfers to 65536 bytes (except on Fastlane)
When using this driver on a Blizzard 1260, there were failures whenever DMA transfers from the SCSI bus to memory of 65535 bytes were followed by a DMA transfer of 1 byte. This caused the byte at offset 65535 to be overwritten with 0xff. The Blizzard hardware can't handle single byte DMA transfers. Besides this issue, limiting the DMA length to something that is not a multiple of the page size is very inefficient on most file systems. It seems this limit was chosen because the DMA transfer counter of the ESP by default is 16 bits wide, thus limiting the length to 65535 bytes. However, the value 0 means 65536 bytes, which is handled by the ESP and the Blizzard just fine. It is also the default maximum used by esp_scsi when drivers don't provide their own dma_length_limit() function. The limit of 65536 bytes can be used by all boards except the Fastlane. The old driver used a limit of 65532 bytes (0xfffc), which is reintroduced in this patch.
