spi: bcm2835: fill FIFO before enabling interrupts to reduce interrupts/message
To reduce the number of interrupts/message we fill the FIFO before enabling interrupts - for short messages this reduces the interrupt count from 2 to 1 interrupt. There have been rare cases where short (<200ns) chip-select switches with native CS have been observed during such operation, this is why this optimization is only enabled for GPIO-CS.
