[PATCH] spi: dw: remove delay between write and read

[Jack Chen]

Delay between write and read in polling mode is not necessary in dw spi
driver. It was added assuming that dw spi controller need the delay to
send data from tx fifo to spi devices. But it is not needed because
following reasons:
1) dw spi datasheet claims transfer begins when first data word is
   present in the transmit FIFO and a slave is enabled. So at least we
   do not need the full fifo-size-transfer time delay.
2) in practice, due to spi devices implementation, spi full-duplex
   (write and read real data) is always split into two transfers.
Delay between spi transfers may be needed. But this can be introduced by
using a more formal helper function "spi_transfer_delay_exec", in which
the delay time is passed by users through spi_ioc_transfer.
