Yes, the F4 has a single bit to select 8 or 16 bit word size, while the
F7 uses four bits to select an arbitrary word size from 4 to 16 bits.
This series supports the packing mode, to allow sending two <=8 bit
words with a single write to the FIFO, but even if we didn't want to
support this feature, the F7 would require setting the FRXTH bit (not
present in the F4) when using <=8 bit word sizes.
