n_bytes variable in the driver represents the number of bytes per word that needs to be sent/copied to fifo. Bits/word can be between 8 and 32 bits from the client but in memory they are a power of 2, same is mentioned in spi.h header: " * @bits_per_word: Data transfers involve one or more words; word sizes * like eight or 12 bits are common. In-memory wordsizes are * powers of two bytes (e.g. 20 bit samples use 32 bits). * This may be changed by the device's driver, or left at the * default (0) indicating protocol words are eight bit bytes. * The spi_transfer.bits_per_word can override this for each transfer. " Hence, round of n_bytes to a power of 2 to avoid values like 3 which would generate unalligned/odd accesses to memory/fifo.
