I changed the hardware description of the imx25 SSI to match the
reference manual.

I did test this change on an imx25 board with audio playback. This uses
the SSI description I modified. I verified that the driver is actually
taking the modified setting into account and that this causes no
problems.

As of today, this setting is used by the fsl_ssi driver to set the fifo
water level for dma requests.

Of course, I don't have access to the enitre range of supported imx25
boards and I don't think this is required for submitting patches.

Do you have any indication why this patch should not be merged?

Best regards,
Martin
