pxa2xx_spi: chipselect bugfixes



commit 8423597d upstream

Fixes several chipselect bugs in the pxa2xx_spi driver.  These bugs are in
all versions of this driver and prevent using it with chips like m25p16
flash.

 1. The spi_transfer.cs_change flag is handled too early:
    before spi_transfer.delay_usecs applies, thus making the
    delay ineffective at holding chip select.

 2. spi_transfer.delay_usecs is ignored on the last transfer
    of a message (likewise not holding chipselect long enough).

 3. If spi_transfer.cs_change is set on the last transfer, the
    chip select is always disabled, instead of the intended
    meaning: optionally holding chip select enabled for the
    next message.

Those first three bugs were fixed with a relocation of delays
and chip select de-assertions.

 4. If a message has the cs_change flag set on the last transfer,
    and had the chip select stayed enabled as requested (see 3,
    above), it would not have been disabled if the next message is
    for a different chip.  Fixed by dropping chip select regardless
    of cs_change at end of a message, if there is no next message
    or if the next message is for a different chip.

This patch should apply to all kernels back to and including 2.6.20;
it was test patched against 2.6.20.  An additional patch would be
required for older kernels, but those versions are very buggy anyway.
