  The TSIZE register in CR2, to which the number of words to transfer
is written, is only 16 Bit. This limits transfers to 65535 SPI
_words_ at a time. The existing code uses spi_split_transfers_maxsize
to limit transfers to 65535 _bytes_ at a time.

This breaks large transfers with bits_per_word > 8, as they are
split inside of a word boundary by the odd size limit.

Split transfers based on the number of words instead.
This has the added benefit of not artificially limiting the maximum
length of bpw > 8 transfers to half or a quarter of the actual limit.

The combination of very large transfers and bits_per_word = 16 is triggered
e.g. by MIPI DBI displays when updating large parts of the screen.

Hi Leonard,

thanks for your patch.  I agree with this patch and tested it ok
as well on my side.
