I see the same error here. I measured with a scope and the chip select
signal behaves very differently compared to the mx6qsabresd board.

When I do 'sf probe' on a mx6qsabresd the chip select line stays low
for 10us and then stays high.

On mx6slevk the chip select line stays low for 0.5us, then it goes
high, goes low for 2us and they stays high.

So there is something very wrong with the timings on mx6sl, but I
haven't had a chance to debug this yet.
