As covered in the documentation setup() for one device may run while
another is active, therefore if multiple devices are configured in the
same register you should use a lock to ensure there can't be multiple
writes.  Note that the above appears to not just be setting the mode but
also the chip select so if you've got two SPI_CS_HIGH devices then
they'll both be going in and separately setting cr0.
