On BCM6358 (and also observed on BCM6368) the controller appears to
only generate as many SPI clocks as bytes that have been written into
the TX FIFO. For RX-only transfers the driver programs the transfer
length in SPI_MSG_CTL but does not write anything into the FIFO, so
chip select is deasserted early and the RX transfer segment is never
fully clocked in.
A concrete failing case is a three-transfer MAC address read from
SPI-NOR:
- TX 0x03 (read command)
- TX 3-byte address
- RX 6 bytes (MAC)
In contrast, a two-transfer JEDEC-ID read (0x9f + 6-byte RX) works
because the driver uses prepend_len and writes dummy bytes into the
TX FIFO for the RX part.
Fix this by writing 0xff dummy bytes into the TX FIFO for RX-only
segments so that the number of bytes written to the FIFO matches the
total message length seen by the controller.
