Thanks for working on this! We used a similar downstream patch for
driving NeoPixels with i.MX. I'm happy to see a proper upstream solution.

I also have this Python module [1] around for using spidev to drive the
LEDs. It would be nice to see support for SPI_MOSI_IDLE_LOW in py-spidev
[2] so we could use it there. Though the latter looks a bit like it is
not properly maintained anymore.
