The driver was using an initial value for the clock on the SPI bus
which was read from ICE1712 EEPROM,
ice->eeprom.data[ICE_EEP1_GPIO_STATE] & ICE1712_DELTA_AP_CCLK (0x02)

It appears some cards have it default high, some cards
have it default low. On my Delta 66 rev. E:
$ cat /proc/asound/M66/ice1712 | grep 'GPIO state'
  GPIO state       : 0x70 /* ICE1712_DELTA_AP_CCLK bit is zero */
On my Audiophile 2496:
$ cat /proc/asound/M2496/ice1712 | grep 'GPIO state'
  GPIO state       : 0xfe /* ICE1712_DELTA_AP_CCLK bit is one */

It must be raised before the first SPI write happens, or the write will
fail, leading to:

[   23.248721] invalid CS8427 signature 0x0: let me try again...

I theorize that 4eb4550a
is no longer needed, it was a different way to workaround
the problem.
