This change is necessary for spidev devices (e.g. /dev/spidev3.0) working in the slave mode (like NXP's dspi driver for Vybrid SoC). When SPI HW works in this mode - the master is responsible for providing CS and CLK signals. However, when some fault happens - like for example distortion on SPI lines - the SPI Linux driver needs a chance to recover from this abnormal situation and prepare itself for next (correct) transmission. This change doesn't pose any threat on drivers working in master mode as spi_slave_abort() function checks if SPI slave mode is supported.
