    spi/zynqmp: remove entry that causes a cs glitch · 5dd83049
    Thommy Jakobsson authored
    In the public interface for chipselect, there is always an entry
    commented as "Dummy generic FIFO entry" pushed down to the fifo right
    after the activate/deactivate command. The dummy entry is 0x0,
    irregardless if the intention was to activate or deactive the cs. This
    causes the cs line to glitch rather than beeing activated in the case
    when there was an activate command.
    
    This has been observed on oscilloscope, and have caused problems for at
    least one specific flash device type connected to the qspi port. After
    the change the glitch is gone and cs goes active when intended.
    
    The reason why this worked before (except for the glitch) was because
    when sending the actual data, the CS bits are once again set. Since
    most flashes uses mode 0, there is always a half clk period anyway for
    cs to clk active setup time. If someone would rely on timing from a
    chip_select call to a transfer_one, it would fail though.
    
    It is unknown why the dummy entry was there in the first place, git log
    seems to be of no help in this case. The reference manual gives no
    indication of the necessity of this. In fact the lower 8 bits are a
    setup (or hold in case of deactivate) time expressed in cycles. So this
    should not be needed to fulfill any setup/hold timings.
