Hmm, I'm not sure this completely right. The Spec has:

Bit PWGTxSPIEN | Pin PWGTxEN | PWGTxDRV | Read Back
0 = default | | | PWGTxSPIEN
---------------+-------------+----------+------------
1 | x | Low | 0
0 | 0 | High | 1
0 | 1 | Low | 0

So it looks a bit harder than just inverting the read bit.

Best regards
Uwe
