I'm still not sure the hardware has such a limitation.

The Synopsys IP supports linked list (LLI) transfers and I hardly can
imagine the list has any limitation. Even though, one can always emulate
LLI in software how it's done in the DesignWare AHB DMA driver.

I have briefly read chapter 4.6 "AXI_DMA" of Keem Bay TRM and didn't
find any errata or limits like this.
