Please note that this code was not written by myself but is based on the 
Linux kernel version. And from my current understanding, this code tries 
to detect the FIFO size. So this 257 being bigger than the max value of 
256 is most likely correct. Also another 257 is a few lines below your code:

		dws->fifo_len = (fifo == 257) ? 0 : fifo;

So I don't think that we need to change this here.

BTW: It might be better to send this patch (or a question about this 256 
vs 257) to the SPI Linux mailing list. The maintainer there will have 
deeper knowledge about this issue.

Thanks,
Stefan
