spi: sirf: provide a shortcut for spi command-data mode
there are many SPI clients which use the following protocal: step 1: send command bytes to clients(rx buffer is empty) step 2: send data bytes to clients or receive data bytes from clients. SiRFprimaII provides a shortcut for this kind of SPI transfer. when tx buf is less or equal than 4 bytes and rx buf is null in a transfer, we think it as 'command' data and use hardware command register for the transfer. here we can save some CPU loading than doing both tx and rx for a normal transfer.
