Current kernel (v5.9) is doing following work:

  of_register_spi_device()
    of_spi_parse_dt()
      /* this will parse dt and set different flags in spi->mode
       * all of this flags are dropped by this driver
       */

        ...... and here we parse gpio properties ......

        /*
         * For descriptors associated with the device, polarity inversion is
         * handled in the gpiolib, so all gpio chip selects are "active high"
         * in the logical sense, the gpiolib will invert the line if need be.
         */
        if ((ctlr->use_gpio_descriptors) && ctlr->cs_gpiods &&
            ctlr->cs_gpiods[spi->chip_select])
                spi->mode |= SPI_CS_HIGH;
        -------->  ^^^^^^^^
        as you can see, if we use gpio as chip select, then the SPI_CS_HIGH
        flag is set. And gpiolib make all needed level conversation.

Since this diver is removing SPI_CS_HIGH flag, we have fallowing call
sequence:

spi_set_cs(, enable)                                        <---- 1
  ....
  if (spi->cs_gpiod || gpio_is_valid(spi->cs_gpio)) {
     ....
     gpiod_set_value_cansleep(, !enable);                   <---- 0
       gpiod_set_value_nocheck()
         if (test_bit(FLAG_ACTIVE_LOW, &desc->flags))
           value = !value;                                  <---- 1


So, at the end, we set GPIO to 1, even if DTS configured it as ACTIVE_LOW.
You may probably suggest to set gpio in DTS to active ACTIVE_HIGH. In
this case we would run it to following snippet:
of_get_named_gpiod_flags()
  of_gpio_flags_quirks()
    if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SPI_MASTER) && !strcmp(propname, "cs-gpios")..
        /*
         * SPI children have active low chip selects
         * by default. This can be specified negatively
         * by just omitting "spi-cs-high" in the
         * device node, or actively by tagging on
         * GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW as flag in the device
         * tree. If the line is simultaneously
         * tagged as active low in the device tree
         * and has the "spi-cs-high" set, we get a
         * conflict and the "spi-cs-high" flag will
         * take precedence.
         */
        if (of_property_read_bool(child, "spi-cs-high")) {
                if (*flags & OF_GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW) {
                        pr_warn("%s GPIO handle specifies active low - 
ignored\n",
                                of_node_full_name(child));
                        *flags &= ~OF_GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW;
                }
        } else {
                if (!(*flags & OF_GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW))
                        pr_info("%s enforce active low on chipselect handle\n",
                                of_node_full_name(child));
                *flags |= OF_GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW;
        }

As you can see, I would need to configure my dts with spi-cs-high flag,
even if the hardware is actually ACTIVE_LOW. If I will go this way, I
would risk a regression as soon as this issue is fixed.

Since the spi framework is already parsing devicetree and set all needed
flags, I assume it is wrong to blindly drop all this flags in the
driver.
