[PATCH] SPI: infrastructure to initialize spi_device.mode early
This patch adds earlier initialization of spi_device.mode, as needed on boards using nondefault chipselect polarity. An example would be ones using the RS5C348 RTC without an external signal inverter between the RTC chipselect and the SPI controller. Without this mechanism, the first setup() call for that chip would wrongly enable chips, corrupting transfers to/from other chips sharing that SPI bus.
