I think this is a sensible change but can we please have a better changelog - why is this the best thing to do rather than fixing the driver to not crash? There are a bunch of good reasons to do the master setup before asserting chip select but a driver crashing isn't one of them, it's not clear that this isn't a bug in the driver.
