This patch adds support for the rzusbstick for the atusb firmware.
More detailed information about this usb stick:

Original I have the rzraven kit:
http://www.atmel.com/tools/rzraven.aspx
Which comes with a special cable and avr dragon programmer. You need
some programmer and wires to the programmers pins. To lookup how to
connect the programmer to the rzusbstick pinout, see:
http://www.atmel.com/Images/doc8117.pdf
page 22 (schematics of the rzusbstick).
Difference between atusb and rzusbstick(rzusb) is mainly the at86rf231
vs at86rf230 one. The rzusb contains the at86rf230 which is a little bit
hard to deal with it (and has a huge errata inside the datasheet).
Nevertheless with small schanges the atusb firmware can run now on the
rzusb. The rzusb contains also a bigger mcu, so we can maybe cache more
pdus for receive handling.
To compile the rzusb firmware call:
make NAME=rzusb
this will generate the rzusb.bin
then call the programmer (in my case avrdude):
avrdude -P usb -c dragon_jtag -p usb1287 -U flash:w:rzusb.bin
NOTE: currently there is no chance (I suppose) to ensure that the atusb
receive the correct firmware, so don't try to flash the atusb with the
rzusb firmware! Also the vendor and product id is the same.
This currently a RFC, it's a quick hack and I think we should update
more the documentation to support the rzusb.

This decreases the retrieval time for a frame of 102 bytes from
660 us to 384 us, corresponding to a speed change from about
1.26 Mbps to 2.17 Mbps (102 bytes plus 2 bytes overhead).
- spi.h (spi_off), spi.c: disable the UART
- spi.c (spi_initialized, spi_begin, spi_init): initialize the UART
if necessary
- board_app.c (gpio): call spi_off to disable the UART instead of
open-coding the operation
- board_app.c (gpio): don't explicitly re-enable the UART but defer it
to the next communication
