commit9535c4757bupstream. The hardware, according to the specs, is limited to 256 byte transfers, and current driver has no protections in case users attempt to do larger transfers. The code will just stomp over status register and mayhem ensues. Let's split larger transfers into digestable chunks. Doing this allows Atmel MXT driver on Pixel 1 function properly (it hasn't since commit9d8dc3e529"Input: atmel_mxt_ts - implement T44 message handling" which tries to consume multiple touchscreen/touchpad reports in a single transaction).

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
