Hmm, I'm not sure this completely right.  The Spec has:

        Bit PWGTxSPIEN | Pin PWGTxEN | PWGTxDRV |  Read Back
          0 = default  |             |          | PWGTxSPIEN
        ---------------+-------------+----------+------------
              1        |      x      |   Low    |     0
              0        |      0      |   High   |     1
              0        |      1      |   Low    |     0

So it looks a bit harder than just inverting the read bit.

Best regards
Uwe
