Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] spi: add SPI_MOSI_IDLE_LOW mode bit

Some spi controller switch the mosi line to high, whenever they are
idle. This may not be desired in all use cases. For example neopixel
leds can get confused and flicker due to misinterpreting the idle state.
Therefore, we introduce a new spi-mode bit, with which the idle behaviour
can be overwritten on a per device basis.

Link for versions:
  v1 and v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-spi/20230511135632.78344-1-bstruempfel@ultratronik.de/
  v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-spi/20230517103007.26287-1-boerge.struempfel@gmail.com/T/#t

Changes from V3:
  - Added missing paranthesis which caused builderrors

Changes from V2:
  - Removed the device-tree binding since this should not be managed by
    the DT but by the device itself.
  - Replaced all occurences of spi->chip_select with the corresponding 
    macro spi_get_chipselect(spi,0)

Changes from V1:
  - Added patch, introducing the new devicetree binding flag
  - Split the generic spi part of the patch from the imx-spi specific
    part
  - Replaced SPI_CPOL and SPI_CPHA by the combined SPI_MODE_X_MASK bit
    in the imx-spi.c modebits.
  - Added the SPI_MOSI_IDLE_LOW bit to spidev
