Despite many warnings in the SPI documentation and code, the spi-mxs
driver sets shared chip registers in the ->setup method.  This method can
be called when transfers are in progress on other slaves controlled by the
master.  Setting registers or any other shared state will corrupt those
transfers.

So fix mxs_spi_setup() to not call mxs_spi_setup_transfer().
mxs_spi_setup_transfer() is already called for each transfer when they
are actually performed in mxs_spi_transfer_one(), so the call in
mxs_spi_setup() isn't necessary to setup anything.
