Proposed code not able to clear LOOP mode in TEST register. What about 
something like this:
if (config->mode & SPI_LOOP)
	lpb |= MX51_ECSPI_LOOP;

if ((readl(spi_imx->base + MX51_ECSPI_TEST) & MX51_ECSPI_LOOP) != lpb)
	writel(lpb, spi_imx->base + MX51_ECSPI_TEST);

In this case driver will write TEST register only if needed.
