[flashrom] [PATCH] Fix another SB600 SPI corner case

[Carl-Daniel Hailfinger]

SB600 SPI has an off-by-one error during read, and that hardware issue
is not documented anywhere yet. r661 tried to work around this, but the
fix had unpleasant side effects. The new workaround only triggers if
readcnt is nonzero, eliminating all possible interactions with
write-only commands.
