The device tree overlay is wrong. Use the one supplied with your
distribution or change the line:

 0x190 0x13    /* P9_31 = mcasp0_aclkx.spi1_sclk                 ,
OUTPUT_PULLUP | MODE3 */

to

 0x190 0x33    /* P9_31 = mcasp0_aclkx.spi1_sclk                 ,
INPUT_PULLUP | MODE3 */

I don't know anything about the IOoo library but I know that libsoc
works well for interfacing with the SPI bus.
