spi: bcm2835aux: remove dangerous uncontrolled read of fifo
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This read of the fifo is a potential candidate for a race condition
as the spi transfer is not necessarily finished and so can lead to
an early read of the fifo that still misses data.

So it has been removed.
