Are you sure that CPHA is not working?

I have used the following to test all combinations:
 for C in "" "-C"; do
  for O in "" "-O"; do
   for H in "" "-H"; do
    spidev_test -vD /dev/*.1 $H $O -p "\x00\x82\x00" -s 1000000;
   done
  done
 done

I have tested with the 4.5-rc3 kernel without any of your patches.

And looked at the logic-analyzer: I see distinct waveform pattern
for clk and data for all events!

The bug with regards to clock polarity needs to get fixed!

I will now apply patch4 only and see how it looks then...

Thanks,
	Martin
