The current implementation always allocates a host controller and sets the
target flag later when the "spi-slave" device tree property is present.
This approach is suboptimal as it doesn't utilize the dedicated allocation
functions designed for target mode.

Use devm_spi_alloc_target() when "spi-slave" device tree property is
present, otherwise use devm_spi_alloc_host(). This replaces the previous
approach of always allocating a host controller and setting target flag
later.
