This cleanup was already completed between end 2011 and early 2012 with a patch series from Lars-Peter Clausen: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/24/190 Later on new redundant initialization re-appeared here and there. Time to cleanup again. And, yes, I'm lazy! I copy-paste the exact same commit message from Lars-Peter; only minor reformat to stay in 75 char/line and fix the name of spi_register_driver().
