Interferences on the SPI line could distort the response of
available buffer space. So at least we should check that the
response doesn't exceed the maximum available buffer space.
In error case increase a new error counter and retry it later.
This behavior avoids buffer errors in the QCA7000, which
results in an unnecessary chip reset including packet loss.

The SPI protocol for the QCA7000 doesn't have any fault detection.
In order to increase the drivers reliability in noisy environments,
we could implement a write verification inspired by the enc28j60.
This should avoid situations were the driver wrongly assumes the
receive interrupt is enabled and miss all incoming packets.
This function is disabled per default and can be controlled via module
parameter wr_verify.

With performance optimization the spi transfer and messages of basic
register operations like qcaspi_read_register moved into the private
driver structure. But they weren't protected against mutual access
(e.g. between driver kthread and ethtool). So dumping the QCA7000
registers via ethtool during network traffic could make spi_sync
hang forever, because the completion in spi_message is overwritten.
So revert the optimization completely.

As preparation for the upcoming UART driver we need a module
which contains common functions for both interfaces. The module
qca_framing is a good candidate but renaming to qca_7k_common would
make it clear.

There is no need to export qcaspi_netdev_open and qcaspi_netdev_close
because they are also accessible via the net_device_ops.
