[PATCH] spi: Add option to keep the MOSI line low, when it is idle.

By default, the imx spi controller uses a high mosi line, whenever it is
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.
