This reverts commit 13d515c796 (spi: omap2-mcspi: Switch to
readl_poll_timeout()).
The amount of time spent polling for the MCSPI_CHSTAT bits to be set on
AM335x-icev2 platform is less than 1us (about 0.6us) in most cases, with
or without using DMA. So, in most cases the function need not sleep.
Also, setting the sleep_usecs to zero would not be optimal here because
ktime_add_us() used in readl_poll_timeout() is slower compared to the
direct addition used after the revert. So, it is sub-optimal to use
readl_poll_timeout in this case.
When DMA is not enabled, this revert results in an increase of about 27%
in throughput and decrease of about 20% in CPU usage. However, the CPU
usage and throughput are almost the same when used with DMA.
Therefore, fix this by reverting the commit which switched to using
readl_poll_timeout().

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
