>> While testing host DMA access, a buffer address
>> is written to register 'TEST_DMA_ADDR' and its size is written to
>> register 'TEST_DMA_SIZE'. When performing TEST_DMA_CTRL_INVERT
>> test, if DMA buffer size was greater than 'INT_MAX', it leads to
>> an invalid buffer access. Limit the DMA buffer size to avoid it.
