As Jarkko says the driver should be hiding all this from users - it
should just set the port up as best it can, refusing to do anything that
can't be supported by the hardware.  The default polarity the hardware
uses shouldn't be visible outside the driver.

The difference between the two modes shouldn't be edge of FS used, it
should be a clock cycle, though with a 1 BCLK pulse on FS the effect
will probably line up.  The MSB data needs to be available for sampling
on the appropriate rising edge of BCLK.
