[PATCH 1/2] spi: ich: Limit slave->max_read_size

Since commit 43c145b8b3ee ("spi: ich: Correct max-size bug in ich_spi_adjust_size()")
(in v2020.04-rc1), SPI flash read no longer works with ICH SPI controller
in software sequencer mode.

ICH controller can only transfer a small number of bytes at once.
Before commit 43c145b8b3ee, the logic happens to make sure data.nbytes
is limited to slave->max_write_size but after commit 43c145b8b3ee
data.nbytes is no longer limited because slave->max_read_size is not
initialized with a valid number.

Fixes: 43c145b8b3ee ("spi: ich: Correct max-size bug in ich_spi_adjust_size()")
