Subject: [PATCH 4.14 052/183] spi: a3700: Clear DATA_OUT when performing a read

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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.
