In the TX_ONLY transfer, the SPI controller also receives data
simultaneously and saves them in the rx register. After the TX_ONLY
transfer, the rx register will hold the random data received during
the last tx transaction.
If the direct following transfer is RX_ONLY, this random data has the
possibility to affect this transfer like this:
When the SPI controller is changed from TX_ONLY to RX_ONLY,
the random data makes the rx register full immediately and
triggers a dummy write automatically(in SPI RX_ONLY transfers,
we need a dummy write to trigger the first transaction).
So the first data received in the RX_ONLY transfer will be that
random data instead of something meaningful.
We can avoid this by inserting a Disable/Re-enable toggle of the
channel after the TX_ONLY transfer, since it purges the rx register.
