I see that this is a fix for backporing, but maybe you can send a
patches on top of this to:
  1) introduce
 #define SPI_MODE_MASK  (SPI_CPHA | SPI_CPOL)

> +       /* use SPI_MODE_0 without changing any other mode flags */
> +       spi->mode &= ~(SPI_CPHA | SPI_CPOL);

2)
       spi->mode &= ~SPI_MODE_MASK;

> +       spi->mode |= SPI_MODE_0;

?
