Subject: [PATCH 15/16] Blackfin SPI Driver: fix bug - spi controller driver does not assert/deassert CS correctly

From: Yi Li <yi.li@...log.com>

This bug can be observed when two SPI devices are sharing the spi bus:
One device is set as SPI CS 7, another one is using SPI CS 4.

In spi_bfin5xx.c: cs_active(), cs_deactive() are used to control SPI_FLG
register. From the debug bellow:

cs_active: flag: 0x7f91, chip->flag: 0x7f80, cs: 7
cs_active: flag: 0xef91, chip->flag: 0xef10, cs: 4

When device A (cs_7) activate CS 7, SPI_FLG is set as 0x7f91 (however,
SPI_FLG should be set as 0x7f80, or 0x6f91 if in broadcast mode).

Due to some HW bug (very possibly), if SPI_FLG is set as 0x7f91,
SPISSEL7 is asserted, however SPISSEL4 will be asserted too (I can see
this using the scope). This is unreasonable according to HRM.
