[PATCH 3/4] spi: spi-fsl-dspi: Increase DMA buffer size

James Clark

From: Larisa Grigore <larisa.grigore@nxp.com>

When the device is configured as a target, the host won't stop sending
data while we're draining the buffer which leads to FIFO underflows
and corruption.

Increase the DMA buffer size to the maximum words that edma can
transfer once to reduce the chance of this happening.

While we're here, also change the buffer size for host mode back to a
page as it was before commit a957499bd437 ("spi: spi-fsl-dspi: Fix
bits-per-word acceleration in DMA mode"). dma_alloc_noncoherent()
allocations are backed by a full page anyway, so we might as well use it
all.
