transfer_one() must call spi_finalize_current_transfer() before
returning to inform current transfer has finished. Otherwise spi driver
doesn't issue next transfer, and hang.
However a3700_spi_transfer_one_fifo() doesn't call it if waiting for
"wfifo empty" or "xfer ready" has timed out.
Thus, this patch corrects error handling of them.

To be clear it can also return a positive value and then finalize later,
there's no need to finalize before returning (otherwise finalizing would
be a bit redundant) and if the driver doesn't return a positive value
there should be no need to finalize at all.

The core shouldn't be waiting at all if the driver returned an error, we
only wait if the return value was positive.  Looking at the code it's
not clear to me how we manage to end up waiting - it looks like the
driver passes back the error correctly and the core looks like it does
the right thing.  Have you seen hangs in operation?

Yes, and I could avoid hanging by this patch. But I also understand that
your point is correct. Probably I'm misunderstanding the cause of the hang.
I will investigate a little more.
