Even better, there is now spi_bpw_to_bytes() for this.

Should be. Setting .delay in the xfer would also make it more
clear that this is doing.

The reason I started doing this is that running the iio_info command attemps
to read register 0x00 via the debug attribute of every single iio device. So
if you run iio_info during a buffered read, and 0x00 is a valid register, it
would break things without this check.

Ideally, general purpose commands wouldn't be poking debug registers, but
that isn't the case. But I suppose we could "fix" iio_info instead.
