Yes this will always be the case for specific spi-device, spi-controller
combinations. Just to make sure, that I understand your suggestion
correctly: You propose to check from the specific spi-device-driver, if
the spi-controller supports this particular mode-bit, and then set it if
it does and thereby loose the need for the DT entry completely?
