The current implementation of bitbang_txrx_be_cpha0 and
bitbang_txrx_be_cpha1 always call setmosi. That runs into several
unnecessary calls into the gpiolib when the level of the GPIO actually
has not to be changed.

This patch changes the routines to remember the last GPIO level
and only calls setmosi if an change has to be made. This
way it improves the transfer throughput.

Applied, thanks.

Is it intentional you check the first bit (word & 1) here? Everywhere
else you use (word & 31).

You are comparing a bool to an int, and ((word & (1 << 31)) will
always be != true (== 1). Your condition needs to be !!(word & (1 <<
31)) != oldbit .

Same issue here.

Doh! I was reworking this from an _le_ variant of the same code.
This hunk unfortunately is an leftover... :/

Mark, should I send a corrected version or do you squash the 31 into the
applied patch?

Thanks for the hint,
Michael

If you could send me a patch (either incremental or squashed is fine)
that'd be good - I'd prefer to have something from you as I'd need to
set up a test system for bitbang.
