What I was trying to say is that if driver wants to set mode to
particular value it should not "or" the value, as it will not reset the
relevant bits. I.e. if there some undesirable data in spi->mode mode
bits it will not get set properly by essentially doing "spi->mode |= 0".
That is why I said the driver needs to clear mode bits and set them to
the desired mode.

Thanks.
