Looking at these two I would rather see a helper

unsigned long spi_get_chipselect_bits(..., unsigned long index_mask)

With that the above becomes for-loop free.

		mask ^= spi_get_chipselect_bits(spi, cs_index_mask);

and

	if (device->mode & SPI_CS_HIGH)
		spi_engine->cs_inv |= spi_get_chipselect_bits(device, cs_index_mask));
	else
		spi_engine->cs_inv &= ~spi_get_chipselect_bits(device, cs_index_mask));

respectively.
