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

From: Franklin S Cooper Jr
Date: Thu Oct 15 2015 - 16:52:06 EST


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.
