Since you are here,
 check -> Check
 time -> time.

Don't split literals, and probably rephrase (If I can't set 2, can I set 3?)
   "setup: can't select more than one out of dual, quad, and no-Rx /
no-Tx at the same time\n");

Is it really material for uAPI?
Perhaps we may have something like
SPI_MODE_USER_MASK in uAPI and
in internal headers

SPI_MODE_KERNEL_MASK with
static_assert(_USER_MASK & _KERNEL_MASK); // check conditional

?
