[PATCH] SPI: spi_butterfly, restore lost deltas

This resolves some minor version skew glitches that accumulated for the AVR
Butterfly adapter driver, which caused among other things the existence of
a duplicate Kconfig entry.  Most of it boils down to comment updates, but in
one case it removes some now-superfluous code that would be better if not
copied into other controller-level drivers.

 The first cable connections will hook Linux up to one SPI bus, with the
 AVR and a DataFlash chip; and to the AVR reset line.  This is all you
 need to reflash the firmware, and the pins are the standard Atmel "ISP"
-connector pins (used also on non-Butterfly AVR boards).
