Subject: [PATCH v2] dt-bindings: devicetree: explain how to get CS active-high

The current documentation does not clearly explain how to invert the SPI
CS signal to make it active-high. This makes it very difficult to
understand.

This patch adds a simple explanation on how to set the CS line in
active-high and adds an example to make it easier for users who need
that setup for their SPI peripherals.
