The not yet reviewed part of my patch series from Oct 2nd,
namely "[PATCH 07/11] spi: fsl-espi: fix and improve reading
from RX FIFO" replaces the code in question.
There's more to fix like removing polling from the ISR.
If you prefer to apply Arnd's fix first I'd rebase the open part
of the patch series and resend it.
