Subject: [PATCH v2] ad7877: fix spi word size to 16 bit

With no word size given in the users platform data,
a generic spi host controller driver will assume a default
word size of eight bit. This causes transmission to be
performed bytewise, which will fail on little endian
machines for sure. Failure on big endian depends on usage
of slave select to mark word boundaries.

Anyway, ad7877 is specified to work with 16 bit per word,
so unconditionally set the word size accordingly.
Flag an error where 16 bit per word is not available.
