spi: spi-mxs: Don't set clock for each xfer

Browse Source 
mxs_spi_setup_transfer() would set the SSP SCK rate every time it was
called, which is before every transfer.  It is uncommon for the SCK rate to
change between transfers (or at all of that matter) and this causes many
unnecessary reprogrammings of the clock registers.

Code changed to only set the rate when it changes.  This significantly
speeds up short SPI messages, especially messages made up of many transfers,
as the calculation of the clock divisors is rather costly.  On an iMX287,
using spidev with messages that consist of 511 transfers of 4 bytes each at
an SCK of 48 MHz, the effective transfer rate more than doubles from about
290 KB/sec to 600 KB/sec!
