Between SPI transactions, all SPI pins are in HiZ state. When using the SS
signal from the SPICC controller it's not an issue because when the
transaction resumes all pins come back to the right state at the same time
as SS.

The problem is when we use CS as a GPIO. In fact, between the GPIO CS
state change and SPI pins state change from idle, you can have a missing or
spurious clock transition.

Set a bias on the clock depending on the clock polarity requested before CS
goes active, by passing a special "idle-low" and "idle-high" pinctrl state
and setting the right state at a start of a message.

Changes in v4:
- Fixed documentation by defining pinctrl-x.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221004-up-aml-fix-spi-v3-0-89de126fd163@baylibre.com

Changes in v3:
- Fixed documentation by removing pinctrl states as they are not mandatory.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221004-up-aml-fix-spi-v2-0-3e8ae91a1925@baylibre.com

Thanks, Applied to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/amlogic/linux.git (v6.2/arm64-dt)

These changes has been applied on the intermediate git tree [1].

The v6.2/arm64-dt branch will then be sent via a formal Pull Request to the Linux SoC maintainers
for inclusion in their intermediate git branches in order to be sent to Linus during
the next merge window, or sooner if it's a set of fixes.

In the cases of fixes, those will be merged in the current release candidate
kernel and as soon they appear on the Linux master branch they will be
backported to the previous Stable and Long-Stable kernels [2].

The intermediate git branches are merged daily in the linux-next tree [3],
people are encouraged testing these pre-release kernels and report issues on the
relevant mailing-lists.

If problems are discovered on those changes, please submit a signed-off-by revert
patch followed by a corrective changeset.
