[PATCH 2/3] drm/tiny: ili9486: Do not assume 8-bit only SPI controllers

[Carlo Caione]

The ILI9486 driver is wrongly assuming that the SPI panel is interfaced
only with 8-bit SPI controllers and consequently that the pixel data
passed by the MIPI DBI subsystem are already swapped before being sent
over SPI using 8 bits-per-word.

This is not always true for all the SPI controllers.

Make the command function more general to not only support 8-bit only
SPI controllers and support sending un-swapped data over SPI using 16
bits-per-word when dealing with pixel data.
