[PATCH] fsi: occ: Fetch OCC response header again to avoid checksum failure

[PATCH] fsi: occ: Fetch OCC response header again to avoid checksum failure

[Eddie James]

In the event that the driver state is reset, and the previous OCC
operation had a sequence number of 1, there is the possibility that
the SRAM buffer is updated in between fetching the OCC response header
and the rest of the data (since the sequence number match is really a
false positive). This results in a checksum failure. To avoid this
condition, simply fetch the whole response rather than skipping the
header when fetching the rest of the response.

This can be abandoned in favor of the latest patch, "Improve response 
status checking"

Thanks,
