If we're manually setting /CS it really makes no difference what the
chip thinks the polarity is - something that is controlling /CS
autonomously can't implement this operation and something that can just
set it at any time doesn't need to worry if the chip thinks it's
asserted or not.

Huh?  Why were you updating the code then...
