I don't particularly like unions either..
If I'm not mistaken, the only place where the union is useful is
in the spi_transfer struct definitions. I'll use a local buf8 there
instead.

I'll rework this function based on your comments and fail early on
unsupported cases.

Sorry about that, I added that default case maybe a little too quickly.
I'll fix that.

Hum... that's probably my fault. I changed the type of buffer from u16
to _be16.
I'll add calls to be16_to_cpu() around this and the 14 bit case.

Will do.
