Subject: [PATCH] spi: Setup the master controller driver before setting the chipselect

Some devices depend on the master controller driver setup function being
called before calling any chipselect functions.

Insure that this is done otherwise uninitialized structures may be
accessed causing a kernel panic.

Keystone 2 devices currently fail to boot in linux-next after the
below commit was applied:

spi: bitbang: switch to the generic implementation of transfer_one_message
commit: 0037686596832572bbca05ab168d9884d7d704c1

This patch allows Keystone 2 devices to boot again in linux-next.

Tested this patch on K2E evm and am437 starterkit which both have SPI
devices to insure regressions aren't seen.
