I've seen other devices end up using the FIFO length as the decision
point here which makes intuitive sense to me unless the FIFO is
extremely deep.

Yep, that's all good. This device has not too deep FIFO, but the reason I chose 
not to go that way is because the DMA allocations have some overhead too and 
this values seemed to be the best.

Not reviewed this properly yet but it looks OK from a first read
through.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Marek Vasut
