Blackfin SPI Driver: fix bug - correct usage of struct spi_transfer.cs_change
According to comments in linux/spi/spi.h: * All SPI transfers start with the relevant chipselect active. Normally * it stays selected until after the last transfer in a message. Drivers * can affect the chipselect signal using cs_change. * * (i) If the transfer isn't the last one in the message, this flag is * used to make the chipselect briefly go inactive in the middle of the * message. Toggling chipselect in this way may be needed to terminate * a chip command, letting a single spi_message perform all of group of * chip transactions together. * * (ii) When the transfer is the last one in the message, the chip may * stay selected until the next transfer. On multi-device SPI busses * with nothing blocking messages going to other devices, this is just * a performance hint; starting a message to another device deselects * this one. But in other cases, this can be used to ensure correctness. * Some devices need protocol transactions to be built from a series of * spi_message submissions, where the content of one message is determined * by the results of previous messages and where the whole transaction * ends when the chipselect goes intactive.
