This patch sets SPI MODE 3 for the fairchild 74HC595 device that is used to reset the ethernet device, which fixes ethernet.
Reasoning: The imx7dsabresd board uses SPI for setting the extended IO. One of the purposes of this extended IO, is having the ability to set ENET_RST i.e. reset the ethernet PHY. Without proper reset of the PHY, ethernet does not work.
commit 0e146993bb3d ("spi: add support for all spi modes with soft spi") broke network support for boards using imx7d-sdb, since it actually corrected default SPI mode setting for the software emulated soft_spi to 0, i.e. CPHA to 0 and CPOL to 0. Previously, the driver defaulted to CPHA 1 and CPOL 1 (i.e. spi mode 3). After the default SPI mode is now 0 (which is the correct default value) we now need to actively set CPHA and CPOL to 1 for the specific devices that actually needs this.
