About libertas_spi: 16 bit data transfer

[Ivan Li]

Hi guys,

I really hope someone can help me clarify this.
Since we specified the bits_per_word field, the i.MX SPI controller will send a u16 (2 bytes) at a time, so I think the "len" should be sizeof(buf) / 2. 
But in if_spi.c, all "length" are calculated by bytes. 

static inline int spu_write_u16(struct if_spi_card *card, u16 reg, u16 val)
{
 u16 buff;

 buff = cpu_to_le16(val);
 return spu_write(card, reg, (u8 *)&buff, sizeof(u16));
}

I think this is why the libertas_spi can't work with i.MX31 SPI.
