Yes.

Hmm... It might fix my problem.  But IIRC the clock state follows
CSRn.CPOL just before the real transfer.  Like this (previous transfer
was MODE 0, new transfer is MODE 3):

           T0                T1 T2

                                   MSB

T0-T1 was relatively longer then T1-T2.  I suppose T1 is not the
point of updating MR register, but the point of starting DMA transfer.

Anyway, I will try your patch in a few days.
