From: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@xxxxxxxxxx>
(cherry picked from upstream fc96ec826bced75cc6b9c07a4ac44bbf651337ab)
On CPM, the RISC core is a lot more efficiant when doing transfers
in 16-bits chunks than in 8-bits chunks, but unfortunately the
words need to be byte swapped as seen in a previous commit.
So, for large tranfers with an even size, allocate a temporary tx
buffer and byte-swap data before and after transfer.
This change allows setting higher speed for transfer. For instance
on an MPC 8xx (CPM1 comms RISC processor), the documentation tells
that transfer in byte mode at 1 kbit/s uses 0.200% of CPM load
at 25 MHz while a word transfer at the same speed uses 0.032%
of CPM load. This means the speed can be 6 times higher in
word mode for the same CPM load.
For the time being, only do it on CPM1 as there must be a
trade-off between the CPM load reduction and the CPU load required
to byte swap the data.
