Since bits_per_word isn't usually checked during SPI setup the 9-bit
support must be checked manually.

There's no point in calling spi_setup() when it doesn't check bits_per_word.
If checking of bits_per_word is the only intention of the setup call, then i
agree.
But i'm not sure it is safe to remove the setup call complete.

Couldn't this cause regressions since there is no common spi setup call for all
drivers?

spi_add_device() calls spi_setup() for all spi devices so it's already done.
If spi_setup() did something with bits_per_word, then I agree that we should
call it in the 9-bit case. But this is not the case, and it's possible to
change bits_per_word per transfer later, so I can't see that this is needed.

Apparently this changed with the commit:
spi: convert drivers to use bits_per_word_mask.
This has not been detected earlier, because FBTFT was previously mostly
used on the Raspberry Pi which had a downstream SPI driver that did this
check.

How about this:

- par->spi->bits_per_word = 9;
- ret = par->spi->master->setup(par->spi);
+ if (par->spi->master->bits_per_word_mask &
SPI_BPW_MASK(9)) {
+ par->spi->bits_per_word = 9;
- if (ret) {
+ } else {
dev_warn(&par->spi->dev,
"9-bit SPI not available, emulating
using 8-bit.\n");
- par->spi->bits_per_word = 8;
I think this assignment should stay.

Not needed since we haven't changed the default set by spi_setup():
        if (!spi->bits_per_word)
                spi->bits_per_word = 8;

Callchain for DT registered spi devices:
spi_register_master->of_register_spi_devices->of_register_spi_device->
spi_add_device->spi_setup
