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.
* tested on Baikal-T1 based system with DW SPI-looped back interface
transferring a chunk of data with DFS:8,12,16.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
