[PATCH 7/9] spi: bcm2835aux: remove dangerous uncontrolled read of fifo

[kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

From: Martin Sperl <kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This read of the fifo is a potential candidate for a race condition
as the spi transfer is not necessarily finished and so can lead to
an early read of the fifo that still misses data.

So it has been removed - an additional loop will read the fifo
correctly.

Fixes: 1ea29b39f4c812ece2f936065a0a3d6fe44a263e
(Note: requires Patch 6)
