I think the patch is incorrect.
The initial version is correct; assuming that the datasheet says that this driver operates in mode 0.
If the initial mode is incorrect, maybe we need to change that.

What is unfortunate, is that you cannot [yet] override the mode parameters [polarity & phase] from the device-tree, in case there are some things in-between the SPI controller & SPI chip [level inverters for example].
I was planning to do something for this.
