What if 'buf_size' is less than 1K, won't 'ROUND_DOWN' make it 0, and I
assume setting 0 to register may cause problem.

And according to the code comment for 'buf_size' [1], buffer size can't
be more than 16K, but technically 'buf_size' can be more than 16K.
Does the HW constrain values larger than 16K? If not the 'buf_size'
value needs to be checked against the 16K limit.
