Subject: [PATCH] spi: cadence-quadspi: Flush posted register writes before
 INDAC access

cqspi_indirect_read_execute() and cqspi_indirect_write_execute() first
set the enable bit on APB region and then start reading/writing to the
AHB region. On TI K3 SoCs these regions lie on different endpoints. This
means that the order of the two operations is not guaranteed, and they
might be reordered at the interconnect level.

It is possible for the AHB write to be executed before the APB write to
enable the indirect controller, causing the transaction to be invalid
and the write erroring out. Read back the APB region write before
accessing the AHB region to make sure the write got flushed and the race
condition is eliminated.
