atmel_spi throughput improvement
Don't insert (undesirable) delays between consecutive words (DLYBCT) or when
activating chipselects (DLYBS).
Removing the between-word delays improves the performance of bulk transfers
(such as mtd_dataflash, m25p80, mmc_spi) significantly. In one test, the
improvement was a factor of more than eight!
(The large DLYBCT value came from the legacy at91 SPI driver, and it's not
clear why it used such a huge value.)
