[PATCH] mfd: motorola-cpcap: Do not hardcode SPI mode flags

From: Linus Walleij
Date: Wed Dec 04 2019 - 18:21:45 EST


The current use of mode flags to us SPI_MODE_0 and
SPI_CS_HIGH is fragile: it overwrites anything already
assigned by the SPI core. Change it thusly:

- Just |= the SPI_MODE_0 so we keep other flags
- Assign ^= SPI_CS_HIGH since we might be active high
already, and that is usually the case with GPIOs used
for chip select, even if they are in practice active low.

Add a comment clarifying why ^= SPI_CS_HIGH is the right
choice here.
