You are still only adding a second integer.

I'm suggesting that instead of sspi->cfg being a pointer to the
config data it is a copy of the config data.
So the assignment below becomes (ignoring error checks)
	memcpy(&sspi->cfg, of_device_get_match_data(&pdev->dev), sizeof sspi->cfg);
and the code that needs the values is:
	sspi->cfg.fifo_depth
(etc)
