you are right. I adapt the imx23 init to the imx28 to make code simple. But it
would be better to avoid glitches.
I hope it's okay for this bugfix to introduce a R-M-W sequence for the imx23
init. So it's consequent.

Yes.

Btw i hope this patch also fixes a SPI communication issue with our hardware
which forces us to bypass ref_io1 for ssp2.
But i will have access to that hardware tomorrow.

Thanks
