I found a bug in the SPI driver for the SPHA field. This would effect
SPI mode 1/3 users. Can you please try it once more with the fix?
(see fix in patch email)
I was hoping these changes would be very minor, but I have limited
hardware to do SPI testing without resorting to loopback mode.

Thanks!
Kevin
