Not sure what happened with git send-email, but most of the commit
message seems to have disappeared. This should have included the
following:

```
Calling spi_sync() unconditionally sets the spi field of struct
spi_message. Therefore setting msg.spi = spi before calling spi_sync()
has no effect and can be removed.
```

I can resend if there are no further comments.
