There's no point in calling spi_setup() when it doesn't check bits_per_word.
Apparently this changed with the commit:
spi: convert drivers to use bits_per_word_mask.
This has not been detected earlier, because FBTFT was previously mostly
used on the Raspberry Pi which had a downstream SPI driver that did this 
check.

How about this:

-                par->spi->bits_per_word = 9;
-                ret = par->spi->master->setup(par->spi);
+                if (par->spi->master->bits_per_word_mask & 
SPI_BPW_MASK(9)) {
+                        par->spi->bits_per_word = 9;
-                if (ret) {
+                } else {
                          dev_warn(&par->spi->dev,
                                  "9-bit SPI not available, emulating 
using 8-bit.\n");
-                        par->spi->bits_per_word = 8;
-                        ret = par->spi->master->setup(par->spi);
-                        if (ret)
-                                goto out_release;
                          /* allocate buffer with room for dc bits */
                          par->extra = devm_kzalloc(par->info->device,
