spi: Change spi_xfer to work in units of bytes instead of bits.
Whenever spi_xfer is called and whenver it's implemented, the natural unit for the amount of data being transfered is bytes. The API expected things to be expressed in bits, however, which led to a lot of multiplying and dividing by eight, and checkes to make sure things were multiples of eight. All of that can now be removed.
BUG=None TEST=Built and booted on link, falco, peach_pit and nyan and looked for SPI errors in the firmware log. Built for rambi. BRANCH=None
