Not sure I see the question here, I think I was missing a bit of
the conversation?  It's perfectly fine for a driver to specify a
mode, if the hardware always uses some unusual mode then there's
no sense in forcing every single DT to set the same mode.  On the
other hand if there's some configuration for the driver that was
handling some board specific configuration that there's already
some generic SPI support for setting then it seems odd to have a
custom driver specific configuration mechanism.
