[PATCH V2 01/12] spi/mxs: Always set LOCK_CS

There are two bits which control the CS line in the CTRL0 register:
LOCK_CS and IGNORE_CRC.  The latter would be better named DEASSERT_CS
in SPI mode.

LOCK_CS keeps CS asserted though the entire transfer.  This should
always be set.  The DMA code will always set it, explicitly on the
first segment of the first transfer, and then implicitly on all the
rest by never clearing the bit from the value read from the ctrl0
register.

The only reason to not set LOCK_CS would be to attempt an altered
protocol where CS pulses between each word.  Though don't get your
hopes up if you want to do this, as the hardware doesn't appear to do
this in any sane manner.

The code can be simplified by just setting LOCK_CS once and then not
needing to deal with it in the PIO and DMA transfer functions.
