[PATCH V2] net: qca_spi: Fix race condition in spi transfers

[PATCH V2] net: qca_spi: Fix race condition in spi transfers

[Stefan Wahren]

With performance optimization the spi transfer and messages from basic
register operations like qcaspi_read_register moved into the private
driver structure. But they weren't protected against mutual access
(e.g. between driver kthread and ethtool). So dumping the QCA7000
register via ethtool during network traffic could make spi_sync
hang forever, because the completion in spi_message is overwritten.

So revert the optimization completely.

Ok, I want one more change.

Please repost this with an appropriate Fixes: tag added.

Thank you.
