Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] spi: axi-spi-engine: use __counted_by() attribute

This adds the __counted_by() attribute to the flex array at the end of
struct spi_engine_program in the AXI SPI Engine controller driver.

The assignment of the length field has to be reordered to be before
the access to the flex array in order to avoid potential compiler
warnings/errors due to adding the __counted_by() attribute.
