[PATCH v2] spi: spi-sun6i: enable autosuspend feature

From: Alexander Kochetkov <al.kochet at gmail.com>

If SPI is used for periodic polling any sensor, significant delays
sometimes appear. Switching on module clocks during resume lead to delays.
Enabling autosuspend mode causes the controller to not suspend between
SPI transfers and the delays disappear.

The commit also remove unnecessary call to pm_runtime_idle() used
to explicit put device to suspended state. Without pm_runtime_idle() PM
core will put device in the suspended state just after probe() returns.

- Extend commit description with explanation about removal
  of pm_runtime_idle()
