The TSIZE register in CR2, to which the number of words to transfer is written, is only 16 Bit. This limits transfers to 65535 SPI _words_ at a time. The existing code uses spi_split_transfers_maxsize to limit transfers to 65535 _bytes_ at a time. This breaks large transfers with bits_per_word > 8, as they are split inside of a word boundary by the odd size limit. Split transfers based on the number of words instead. This has the added benefit of not artificially limiting the maximum length of bpw > 8 transfers to half or a quarter of the actual limit. The combination of very large transfers and bits_per_word = 16 is triggered e.g. by MIPI DBI displays when updating large parts of the screen.
