I meant there is always a limit - isn't Max_Read_Request_Size a limit?
Device Control Register (Offset 08h) Bit Location 14:12
Max_Read_Request_Size allows for max 4096 bytes, though two values are
reserved, so there is room for some easy extension.

- non-ARM (non-DWC?) systems are limited to 4096 bytes
- DWC-based systems are limited to 128, 256, 512 bytes (are there
  4096-byte ones?)

That's how I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong.
