The reason is that spi-bcm2835 reverts to PIO on larger buffers.
Looking at __spi_map_msg() and spi_map_buf() it becomes clear that the
core breaks up the buffer into manageable parts. So this must be a bug
in spi-bcm2835 (and spi-pxa2xx) since no other drivers have a upper
limit in the .can_dma() callback.
So you're rightly confused, with drivers fixed, this limit can be lifted.

It can't be zero:

int spi_register_master(struct spi_master *master)
{
...
     if (!master->max_dma_len)
         master->max_dma_len = INT_MAX;

This minimum capping doesn't look good. I should probably put >16
instead, that would cover the minimum for the 9-bit emulation code.

The reason I let the user change the transfer size, is that some usb
audio card on Raspberry Pi stuttered with 4k fbtft transfers.

If the bus can't do 16-bit natively, it will have to swap the bytes on
little endian machines before transfer as 8-bit (Raspberry Pi can't do
16-bit SPI with it's DMA capable controller).
So this function is to avoid #ifdef's elsewhere.
