I'll defer to Stefano on this one, since I did this in response
to his request:

The struct cspi_regs is already present in mx31, mx35, and mx51 headers,
so I'm not breaking new ground here, only in the bitfield declarations.

My interpretation of Stefano's intent is to clean up the driver at the expense
of extra defines in the arch-specific headers.
