Locally we have quite a similar to 1476253cef change (well, correct version
of it) authored by Knut Wohlrab, here is his comment from a discussion:

Please notice that iMX6 ECSPI controller support 4 channels/chip selects at
one SPI bus. The original iMX driver implementation(*) did not care about
the SPI_CPHA, SPI_CPOL and SPI_CS_HIGH configuration of the not selected
channels and set this to "0". Depending on the configuration of this
channels this could cause unwanted edges at the clock line when using this
channels the next time. To prevent this, we introduce the read of the
actual configuration/register content and set only the necessary changes.

(*) here it means the version prior to 1476253cef ("spi: imx: fix ecspi mode
setup)
