Subject: [PATCH net-next v1] net: phy: spi_ks8995: Do not overwrite SPI mode flags

From: Sven Van Asbroeck <thesven73@...il.com>

This driver makes sure the underlying SPI bus is set to "mode 0"
by assigning SPI_MODE_0 to spi->mode. This overwrites all other
SPI mode flags.

In some circumstances, this can break the underlying SPI bus driver.
For example, if SPI_CS_HIGH is set on the SPI bus, the driver
will clear that flag, which results in a chip-select polarity issue.

Fix by changing only the SPI_MODE_N bits, i.e. SPI_CPHA and SPI_CPOL.
