I did find datasheet for AR9344 and hardware supports shifting bits.

8.25.6 SPI Content to Shift Out or In (SPI_SHIFT_CNT_ADDR)
Address: 0x1FFF0014
Access: Read/Write
Reset: 0x0
-------------------------------------------
Bit  | Bit Name     | Desc
31   | SHIFT_EN     | Enables shifting data out
30   | SHIFT_CHNL   | If set to 1, enables chip select 2
29   |              | If set to 1, enables chip select 1
28   |              | If set to 1, enables chip select 0
27   | SHIFT_CLKOUT | Initial value of the clock signal
26   | TERMINATE    | When set to 1, deassert the chip select
25:7 | RES          | Reserved
6:0  | SHIFT_COUNT  | The number of bits to be shifted out or shifted in
on the data line

This is currently implemented in defines
#define AR934X_SPI_REG_SHIFT_CTRL       0x14
#define AR934X_SPI_SHIFT_EN             BIT(31)
#define AR934X_SPI_SHIFT_CS(n)          BIT(28 + (n))
#define AR934X_SPI_SHIFT_TERM           26
#define AR934X_SPI_SHIFT_VAL(cs, term, count)                   \
        (AR934X_SPI_SHIFT_EN | AR934X_SPI_SHIFT_CS(cs) |        \
        (term) << AR934X_SPI_SHIFT_TERM | (count))

In the transfer loop count value is set to number of bits per word.

reg = AR934X_SPI_SHIFT_VAL(spi->chip_select, term, trx_cur * 8);
iowrite32(reg, sp->base + AR934X_SPI_REG_SHIFT_CTRL);

So actually hardware support any word size between 1-32bits.

Should I split this in two commits? First one fixing SPI_BPW_MASK(32) typo.
Then second commit which implements 8bits, 16bits and 24bits word sizes?
Or should driver implement support for any word size between 1-32bits?
