    spi/dw_spi: add a FIFO depth detection

    FIFO depth is configurable for each implementation of DW core,
    so add a depth detection for those interface drivers who don't set
    the fifo_len explicitly

I added the code per request from Jean-Hugues Deschenes.

Recently Alek Du has tested this code on his Medfield platform.

Thanks,
