PATCH 1/1 spi: spi_write_then_read() bugfixes

From: David Brownell <[email protected]>

The "simplify spi_write_then_read()" patch included two regressions from the 2.6.27 behaviors:

- The data it wrote out during the (full duplex) read side of the transfer was not zeroed.

- It fails completely on half duplex hardware, such as Microwire and most "3-wire" SPI variants.

So, revert that patch. A revised version should be submitted at some point, which can get the speedup on standard hardware (full duplex) without breaking on less-capable half-duplex stuff.

---
Fix should go into '28 and '29 stable kernels.
