I was just thinking it would be clearer if the code states clearly:

    1 -> u8
    2 -> u16
    4 -> u32
    anything else -> shouldn't happen

As is, it wasn't obvious to me that we're just handling 4 as u32. Maybe
we're just capping it at u32, and 8 is also handled.

Well, maybe I'm just not familiar with SPI stuff, and word size above 4
doesn't make sense anyway.

It could also be a comment

    else /* 4 */

Just a suggestion, no strong preference from me.
