previously burst length (BURST_LENGTH) is always set to equal
to bits_per_word, causes a 10us gap between each word in
transfer, which significantly affects performance.

This patch uses 32 bits transfer to simulate lower bits transfer,
and adjusts burst length runtimely to use biggeest burst length
as possible to reduce the gaps in transfer for PIO mode.
Just curious: what is the performance gain you observe with this patch?
I did some performance test with 576/384/192 bytes data,
following is the result between the test w & w/o this patch
(ecspi controller works in PIO and loopback mode)

with this patch:
bytes      bpw      time (ms)
576         8           9.2
576         16         9.2
384         8            6.2
192          8           3.1

without this patch
bytes      bpw      time(ms)
576           8           14.4
576           16          11.6
384           8            9.6
384           16          7.8
192           8            4.8
192           16          3.9


Thanks,
Jiada
