Even though WLEN=1 is set in the ti_qspi_transfer_one, if we ask for a
transfer of large data,
say 300 bytes in length, for attaining faster data rate WLEN 128 is
selected for the first two
transactions and remaining 44 bytes will be transmitted with WLEN 1.
During that case,
WLEN will be changed inside qspi_write_msg function itself and the
field should be cleared
first while doing that.
