Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] iio: adc: ti-ads7950: use SPI_CS_WORD to reduce CPU usage

This changes how the SPI message for the triggered buffer is setup in
the TI ADS7950 A/DC driver. By using the SPI_CS_WORD flag, we can read
multiple samples in a single SPI transfer. If the SPI controller
supports DMA transfers, we can see a significant reduction in CPU usage.

For example, on an ARM9 system running at 456MHz reading just 4 channels
at 100Hz: before this change, top shows the CPU usage of the IRQ thread
of this driver to be ~7.7%. After this change, the CPU usage drops to
~3.8%.

It was brought up in v1 that changing the endianness *could* possible break
users who are taking shortcuts by making assumptions on the data format instead
of using the full ABI to determine the format. Since this only *might* be a
problem I would like to make this change anyway to avoid a bunch of byte
swapping. If it turns out that it really is a problem instead of *might be*
a problem, then we can fix it later.
