The burst length could be BEATS_4/8/16. Before this patch, isi use default
value BEATS_4. To imporve the performance we could set it to BEATS_16.

Otherwise sometime it would cause the ISI overflow error.

Without looking at datasheets - what does this bit do? Change the transfer 
length? What happens then if the data amount isn't a multiple of the 
transfer size?

Thanks

Atmel ISI has two internal 32-bytes FIFOs, one for Preview, another for 
Codec.
This field is the threshold to trigger the FIFO transfer to AHB by DMA.
We can set the threshold to allow 4-bytes, 8-bytes or 16-bytes for a burst.
BEATS_4, means only allow 4-bytes in a burst.
BEATS_8, means only allow 4-bytes and 8-bytes in a burst.
BEATS_16, means allow 4-bytes, 8-bytes and 16-bytes in a burst.

So BEATS_16 will use the DMA more efficient if has lots of data to 
transfer. As we are allowed to use 16-bytes in a burst. That will 
trigger less burst than BEATS_4 to transfer same amount of data.

We found this patch can fix ISI FIFO overflow error when system is in a 
situation that with a very high memory load.
If we only allow 4-bytes in a burst, that need more burst to transfer 
data and less effective.

BEATS_16 means allowed 4-bytes, 8-bytes and 16-bytes in a burst. So it 
still can perform a 4-bytes transfer if the data is not multiple of 16.
I think all the data transfer are aligned with 4 bytes. The DMA address 
should be aligned with 4 bytes as well.
