Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.15 043/189] spi: a3700: Clear DATA_OUT when
 performing a read

From: Maxime Chevallier <maxime.chevallier@...le.fr>

[ Upstream commit 44a5f423e70374e5b42cecd85e78f2d79334e0f2 ]

When performing a read using FIFO mode, the spi controller shifts out
the last 2 bytes that were written in a previous transfer on MOSI.

This undocumented behaviour can cause devices to misinterpret the
transfer, so we explicitly clear the WFIFO before each read.

This behaviour was noticed on EspressoBin.
