In case of the DFS-width being of 32-bits size n_bytes can be 4 and
theoretically _3_ (practically it's unluckily, but anyway). Here
it is:
...
if (dws->caps & DW_SPI_CAP_DFS32)
	master->bits_per_word_mask = SPI_BPW_RANGE_MASK(4, 32);
...
dws->n_bytes = DIV_ROUND_UP(transfer->bits_per_word, BITS_PER_BYTE);
...

So what about converting the dw_spi_dma_convert_width() method to
having the switch-case statement and adding the adjacent "case 3:
case 4:" statement there?

* We could add the individual case-3 branch with DMA_SLAVE_BUSWIDTH_3_BYTES
* returned, but the DMA-engines with 3-bytes bus width capability are

* won't hurt to extend the bus up to four bytes even though there are
* only three bytes required.

Please also note. Currently the spi-dw-dma.o driver doesn't make sure
that the requested buswidth is actually supported by the DMA-engine
(see dma_slave_caps.{src,dst}_addr_widths fields semantics). It would
be nice to have some sanity check in there, but until then note DMA
may still fail even if you specify a correct buswidth.
