[U-Boot] [PATCH] spi: tegra: clear RDY bit prior to every transfer

From: Yen Lin <yelin at nvidia.com>

The RDY bit indicates that a transfer is complete. This needs to be
cleared by SW before every single HW transaction, rather than only
at the start of each SW transaction (those being made up of n HW
transactions).

It seems that earlier HW may have cleared this bit autonomously when
starting a new transfer, and hence this code was not needed in practice.
However, this is generally a good idea in all cases. In Tegra124, the
HW behaviour appears to have changed, and SW must explicitly clear this
bit. Otherwise, SW will believe that transfers have completed when they
have not, and may e.g. read stale data from the RX FIFO.

[swarren, rewrote commit description, unified duplicate RDY clearing code
and moved it right before the start of the HW transaction, unconditionally
exit loop after reading RX data, rather than checking if TX FIFO is empty,
since it is guaranteed to be]

I assume this patch will be applied to the SPI tree since it's an SPI-
related patch. Tom Warren recently posted a series which renames the
Tegra114 SPI driver, although I think I persuaded him that wasn't a good
idea. Either way, this patch should merge fine with that, since Tom's
patch was mostly a rename and hence won't conflict.

With this patch and Tom's recent initial Tegra124 support patches
applied, I can use tegra-uboot-flasher to write U-Boot to SPI flash on
Venice2. Without this patch, the SPI writes failed.
