This is just a normal data transfer, if the driver is functioning
correctly this should not be required and requiring it would mean that
we'd need to go round adding workarounds for this to lots of client
drivers.  It seems like you are trying to work around some other bug in
the driver, quite possibly incorrect handling of chip select as was
suggested elsewhere.  If that is the case a common solution is to manage
the chip select as a GPIO rather than with the built in handling in the
block if the block can't cope.
