[PATCH] spi-imx: prevent overflow when estimating transfer time

The words delay is computed by multiplying two unsigned ints
and by adding up the result to a u64 variable.

The multiplication, however, is performed with 32bit math
thus losing data when the actual result is larger than UINT32_MAX.

Fix the operation by casting the first operand to u64, thus forcing
the multiplication to be performed with 64bit math.

This fixes 1 OVERFLOW_BEFORE_WIDEN issue reported by Coverity
