drivers/spi: remove unconditional RW boot device initialization
The SPI drivers for the various chipsets are not consistent in
their handling of when they are accessible. Coupled with the
unknown ordering of boot_device_init() being called this can
lead to unexpected behavior (probing failures or hangs). Instead
move the act of initializng the SPI flash boot device to when
the various infrastructure requires its usage when it calls
boot_device_rw(). Those platforms utilizing the RW boot device
would need to ensure their SPI drivers are functional and
ready when the call happens.
This further removes any other systems failing to boot as
reported in https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/67.
