spi_add_device() calls spi_setup() for all spi devices so it's already done.
If spi_setup() did something with bits_per_word, then I agree that we should
call it in the 9-bit case. But this is not the case, and it's possible to
change bits_per_word per transfer later, so I can't see that this is needed.

Not needed since we haven't changed the default set by spi_setup():
if (!spi->bits_per_word)
spi->bits_per_word = 8;

Callchain for DT registered spi devices:
spi_register_master->of_register_spi_devices->of_register_spi_device->
spi_add_device->spi_setup
