Altera's Arria10 architecture requires a 32bit write accesses for
APB peripherals. The current spi-dw driver uses 16bit accesses in
some locations. This patch updated the bindings with an optional
field in the devicetree to select 32bit accesses.

The most big issue for my opinion with DT is an absence of the
standard for naming properties.

So, why underscore? May be it's a time to append a generic description
of this field to Documentation/devicetree/…

Hi Andy,

I'm use the underscore to make it easier to read but I'm open to 
suggestions.

I stay away from dashes because these variable names are problematic to 
parse in languages like Python which may be used as an external tool.

I don't mind making it just 32bit if that is preferable or implementing 
a better field name.

Thanks for reviewing

Dashes are idiomatic for device tree.

Thanks, I will change to using a dash then.
