In order to work appropriately, the max11043 ADC chip and probably
others, needs SPI master samples the data at the correct edge. From
max11043 datasheet: "The data at DIN is latched on the rising edge
of SCLK". Same to DOUT.

This patch add Master Sample Data Mode bit in normal sample mode.

Thanks! That's a good catch. This particular bit is actually set in the
reset default register value, according to the Allwinner A20 manual.
But on Allwinner A10 and Allwinner A13 it is documented as unused and
can't be changed (it remains zero even if we try to modify it).

So looks like only A20 is affected, because the kernel currently sets a
non-standard mode, deviating from both Allwinner's default and normal
SPI behaviour.

You still need to update the summary line to add all the necessary
sunxi and spi specific prefixes (see similar commits). Also a similar
fix most likely needs to be applied to the spi-sun6i.c file too (due
to the copy-paste curse and code duplication), but I'm not sure if it
needs to be a part of this patch or a separate one.

Hi Siarhei,

I was really aiming only A20 in this patch.

Well, regardless of whether you like it or not, A10 and A13 are also
currently using the same code path. So they are potentially affected.

Yes, we may try to introduce a separate compatible property to describe
this particular new A20-specific feature, which did not exist in the
older A10/A13 SoCs and then set this bit only for A20 in the SPI
driver. But since A20 is backwards compatible with A10/A13 (as long
as we don't override the default values of the reserved bits in hardware
registers) and enabling this particular feature is apparently undesired
(it breaks your max11043 ADC use case), it does not seem to be necessary
to me right now. Maxime and others may have a different opinion though.

As for the spi-sun6i.c file, somebody else might encounter the same
problem on A23/A33/H3/H5/A83T/A64 later and waste time debugging
something that had been already resolved by you now. Also having the
spi-sun4i.c and spi-sun6i.c files diverge even more than they are now
is not nice.
