The problem here is is that the U-Boot SPI interface doesn't quite allow
this. For example, 'sf probe' does a short write, then in a separate
spi_xfer() call it does a read. Should the preamble be waited for in the
first write? Perhaps not, if more bytes need to be sent before the other
end can respond. It is a little complicated and we are working on another
approach. But this code does work and is heavily tested. I would be
reluctant to change it in mainline without further testing. We are working
on generalising this.
