spi: spi-fsl-spi: allow changing bits_per_word while CS is still active

commit a798a70 upstream.

Commit c9bfcb3 (spi_mpc83xx: much improved driver) introduced
logic to ensure bits_per_word and speed_hz stay the same for a series
of spi_transfers with CS active, arguing that

    The current driver may cause glitches on SPI CLK line since one
    must disable the SPI controller before changing any HW settings.

This sounds quite reasonable. So this is a quite naive attempt at
relaxing this sanity checking to only ensure that speed_hz is
constant - in the faint hope that if we do not causes changes to the
clock-related fields of the SPMODE register (DIV16 and PM), those
glitches won't appear.

The purpose of this change is to allow automatically optimizing large
transfers to use 32 bits-per-word; taking one interrupt for every byte
is extremely slow.
