Now, we depends on reset state. This the reset value of this register is 
0x00000000, so no protect.

If we really need the write protect feature, will add it in future.

It's my fault.
OK, I will put TX line unconditional pull up. And Rx line without pull up.

I will set them pull up unconditionally. The atmel spi driver will set 
the GPIO to 1 when activate, set to 0 when deactivate.

I suggest we keep the lower 16 bit line here, and put the higher 8 bit 
line to board file (sama5d3xek.c). Then if someone want to use higher 8 
bit line which is different with sama5d3xek, then they can implement it 
in board file.
