What is a PHY in the context of a SPI controller?

Extra blank line (does this work?).  It's not clear to me that there's
enough code here to justify a Kconfig.

Please follow the kernel coding style.

This is done unconditionally, will other instances in the IP be OK with
it?  Should it be a separate commit since it's affecting everything?

This is not how we do support for variants of an IP, we need to support
a single kernel image for many different systems so variant handling
needs to be done with runtime selection not build time selection.
Please handle this in a similar way to how other drivers handle support
for multiple devices.

Note that setup() might be called while other transfers are in progress
and should not affect them.
