fsi/fsi-master-gpio: Delay sampling of FSI data input
Most SoC GPIO implementations, including the Aspeed one, have
synchronizers on the GPIO inputs. This means that the value
read from a GPIO is a couple of clocks old, from whatever clock
source feeds those synchronizers.
In practice, this means that in no-delay mode, we are using a
value that can potentially be a bit too old and too close to
the clock edge establishing the data on the other side of the link.
The voltage converters we use on some systems make this worse
and sensitive to things like voltage fluctuations etc... This is,
we believe, the cause of occasional CRC errors encountered during
heavy activity on the LPC bus.
This is fixed by introducing a dummy GPIO read before the actual
data read. It slows down SBEFIFO by about 15% (less than any delay
primitive) and the end result is so far solid.
