Oh, ok. That's sad. But I wouldn't have time to work on this, either...

Well, defaults for that command are not necessarily defaults for use
at driver level?

Because I would have thought with DM, defaults would come from dts, not from
some defines.

Anyway, I guess I now understand why you have done it like that.
I'm not the SPI maintainer, so I won't interfere. I was only a little
bit surprised that
this took a different direction as the first things we discussed in that area...

And as long as this define doesn't interfere with my SPL + U-Boot using the
settings from dts, this looks good, I guess.
