The SSP has PCI configuration indicating how it is being assigned, which
is in vendor capability byte 6. The low 3 bits indicte the mode, where
mode 1 is an SPI master/slave, and in that case bit 6 is set for a slave.

The SSP/SPI driver will only grab ports that have been assigned to that
purpose as part of the system design.

I'm just putting the other bits from the generic driver back into the
more featured/tested specific driver that Russ posted.
