spi: use_gpio_descriptor fixup moved to spi_setup
Commits [1] and [2] including code that forces SPI_CS_HIGH for SPI controllers that use GPIO descriptors, the SPI_CS_HIGH flag being there to avoid a double-negation (since SPI CS is usually active-low). The motivation for pushing the knowledge of the required polarity into the GPIO descriptor allows the switch to an output to request the correct inactive level, avoiding a needless glitch. The problem with setting the flag early as [1] does is that it appears in the mode field that is passed to client drivers during their probing, when they may want to choose SPI_POL, SPI_PHA and (just possibly) SPI_CS_HIGH. Since SPI_CS_HIGH is the exception, most drivers won't set it and the anti-negation negation is lost. [2] acknowledges that problem and patches things up for the case of users of spidev, but omits regular kernel-mode drivers. Downstream commit [3] moves the forcing of SPI_CS_HIGH to spi_setup, after the driver probing. Since this code is called before any CS manipulation it is early enough to be effective, but late enough that clients have already had their chance to change the mode field. This is a partial reversion of [1], and is accompanied by a complete reversion of [2], neither of which is needed any longer.
