[PATCH] atmel_spi: work-around required for new HW bug in AT91SAM9263 Rev.B SPI controller

[Haavard Skinnemoen]

From: Jean-Christophe Lallemand <jcl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We're working with an AT91SAM9263 Rev B in our design and I experienced
some inconsistency in spi-based touchscreen usage between our board and
the Atmel evaluation kit we have that runs on a Rev A chip. The data was
apparently delayed by 1 byte and got ridiculous data out of the
touchscreen driver, very strange. As everything looked normal in the
spi, touchscreen and dma logs, I contacted the Atmel support and they
triggered me on a new HW bug that appeared in the Rev B SPI controller.

The problem is that the SPI controller on the Rev B needs that the
software reset is performed two times so that it's performed correctly.

Applying the patch below solves the issue on my Rev B board. I've tested
it as well on my Rev A evaluation kit and it has apparently no unwanted
side effect, things continue to work as expected.
