Not that easy.

Today I have in the DTS the CS GPIOs declared as ACTIVE_LOW.

If I declare them as ACTIVE_HIGH instead, then I also have to set spi-cs-high property, otherwise 
of_gpio_flags_quirks() is not happy and forces the GPIO ACTIVE LOW.

When I set spi-cs-high property, it sets the SPI_CS_HIGH bit in spi->mode.

In fsl_spi_chipselect(), we have

	bool pol = spi->mode & SPI_CS_HIGH

Then
	pdata->cs_control(spi, pol);

So changing the board config is compensated by the above, and at the end it still doesn't work.


Whereas reverting the above mentionned commit sets back SPI_CS_HIGH into spi->mode without changing 
the ACTIVE level of the GPIO, resulting in the correct polarity.


So, I'm a bit lost, where is the problem exactly ?

Thanks
