[PATCH] SPI: drain MXC SPI transfer buffer when probing device

[Daniel Mack <daniel@caiaq.de>]

On the MX31litekit, the bootloader seems to communicate with the MC13783
PMIC chip before booting Linux. However, it does not flush all the
buffers properly after that, which makes the imx-spi driver read
bogus data when probing the MC13783.

Fix that by draining the SPI buffer on startup.
