This fixes several warnings like:

	drivers/spi/spi-mpc512x-psc.c: In function 'mpc512x_psc_spi_prep_xfer_hw':
	arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h:163:2: warning: '__ret' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

introduced in commit 8bf960985dfc for some build configurations.

Fixes: 8bf960985dfc ("spi: mpc512x-psc: add support for Freescale MPC5125")

Hello,

didn't check why "my" config doesn't throw this warning, but I could reproduce
and fix it with the .config and toolchain as suggested by the build bot's
report.

An alternatives is to introduce a default case that BUG()s, but I think
there is not much benefit over the NULL pointer exception that I
introduced with my commit.

I expected that giving the enum I introduced a name and using this to
type the variable should do the trick, but this didn't made the compiler
happy.

Best regards
Uwe
