Maybe I'm missing something but with the patchset we unconditionally set
SPI_MOSI_IDLE_HIGH. So if we load an hdl which does not support it things will
apparently be ok but it won't actually work, right? If I'm right we should have
a bit in a RO config_register telling us that the feature is being supported or
not. That way we only set the mode bit if we do support it...
