Ugh, right, spidev.  Really even with spidev devices should probably
have the mode configured beforehand (I'm not sure pinmux will do the
right thing on most platforms...) but now I check it's part of the ABI
so we can't get rid of it and therefore your current patch probably is
what we need.  No need to reroll, sorry for the noise :/

I'm not sure why you think spidev is dying, it does still exist and
devices use it?
