[PATCH v2 1/2] spi: sun6i: Honor CS setup delay on the first transfer with native CS

Move SUN6I_TFR_CTL_CS_MANUAL to sun6i_spi_set_cs.

The CS_MANUAL bit is required for CS_LEVEL to affect the CS pin state.
Set it in the same place as other CS bits to ensure that set_cs takes
effect immediately, and to make it easier to reason about CS behavior.

Previously, this bit was not set until the first transfer's
sun6i_spi_transfer_one. That meant that on the first transfer, set_cs
would have no immediate effect, and the CS falling edge was deferred
until the bit is set in transfer_one. As any configured cs_setup delay
happens between those two steps, the configured delay would have
effectively been ignored on the very first transfer. This change makes
the first transfer work like subsequent ones.
