Subject: spi: bitbang bugfix in message setup
From: David Brownell <dbrownell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Bugfix to spi_bitbang infrastructure: make sure to always set transfer
parameters on the first pass through the message's per-transfer loop. 
This can matter with drivers that replace the per-word or per-buffer
transfer primitives, on busses with multiple SPI devices.

Previously, this could have started messages using the settings left after
previous messages.  The problem was observed when a high speed chip
(m25p80 type flash) was running very slowly because a low speed device
(avr8 microcontroller) had previously used the bus.  Similar faults could
have driven the low speed device too fast, or used an unexpected word
size.
