No. The polarity inversion isn't supported by the DW APB SSI
controller. Native chip-select is always active-low, while a
corresponding peripheral is activated by setting a bit in the SER
register (Slave Enable Register). So as long as the dw_spi_set_cs()
callback isn't called while there is a SPI-message execution going on
it shall be save do preserve the current version of the method.
