I need more details on the problem otherwise this patch seems more
like a hack than a fix. The dw_spi_update_config() method already
updates the mode before start to execute each SPI-transfer.  Basically
what you suggest here is the double CR0 register update before the
first transfer submission. This doesn't seem like a proper solution.
Moreover updating the device setting in the set_cs callback makes it
less coherent. So there must be a firm justification why the update is
supposed to be done in the dw_spi_set_cs method.
