[PATCH 3/4] ARM: dts: imx6qdl-tqma6: Fix the SPI chipselect polarity

The conversion of the spi-imx driver to use GPIO descriptors
in commit 8cdcd8aeee28 ("spi: imx/fsl-lpspi: Convert to GPIO descriptors")
helped to detect the following SPI chipselect polarity mismatch on an
imx6q-sabresd for example:
    
[    4.854337] m25p80 at 0 enforce active low on chipselect handle
   
Prior to the above commit, the chipselect polarity passed via cs-gpios
property was ignored and considered active-low.
    
The reason for such mismatch is clearly explained in the comments inside
drivers/gpio/gpiolib-of.c:
    
* SPI children have active low chip selects
* by default. This can be specified negatively
* by just omitting "spi-cs-high" in the
* device node, or actively by tagging on
* GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW as flag in the device
* tree. If the line is simultaneously
* tagged as active low in the device tree
* and has the "spi-cs-high" set, we get a
* conflict and the "spi-cs-high" flag will
* take precedence.
    
To properly represent the SPI chipselect polarity, change it to active-low
when the "spi-cs-high" property is absent.
