spi: spi-imx: mx51_ecspi_prepare_message(): skip writing MX51_ECSPI_CONFIG register if unchanged

In mx51_ecspi_prepare_message() the MX51_ECSPI_CONFIG register is
setup for the current spi_message. After writing the register, there
is a delay to ensure that the changes hit the hardware.

This patch checks if the register MX51_ECSPI_CONFIG actually needs to
be changed. If the register content is unchanged the function is left
early, skipping the write to the hardware and the delay. This leads to
a small, but measurable performance increase. For a given workload
with small transfers on an imx6 single core the CPU load decreases
from 30% to ~27%.
