Subject: [PATCH 3/3] spi: meson-spicc: Lower CS between bursts

On some hardware (reproduced on S905X) when a large payload is
transmitted over SPI in bursts at the end of each burst, the clock line
briefly fluctuates creating spurious clock transitions that are being
recognised by the connected device as a genuine pulses, creating an
offset in the data being transmitted.

Lower the GPIO CS between bursts to avoid the clock being interpreted as
valid.
