Hi all,

Even though 1MB is reserved for descriptor table in IDMAC,
the dw_mmc host driver is allowed to receive only maximum
128KB block length in one request. This is caused by setting
improper max_blk_count. It needs to be e adjusted so that
descriptor table is used fully.

It is found that the performance is improved with the increased the
max_blk_count. In my case, there is 82%(6%) improvement in sequential
write(read). Is there anybody who knows the reason about the old setting?

Best regards,
Seungwon Jeon.
