[PATCH v16 3/7] spi: pxa2xx: overhaul teardown and suspend sequence using pxa2xx_spi_off

When removing the driver or suspending the device, the clock must not
be disabled while shared interrupts are still active. Gating the clock
before waiting for in-flight interrupt handlers to complete results
in race conditions where the handler performs unclocked MMIO accesses,
causing PCIe Completion Timeouts.

Overhaul the remove, suspend, and runtime_suspend paths to use a strict
synchronized teardown order:
1. Disable hardware interrupt generation at the controller level.
2. Mark the device state as suspended (suspended = true) to prevent
   subsequent interrupt handlers from attempting MMIO reads.
3. Call synchronize_irq() to wait for any active interrupt handlers
   to drain completely.
4. Gate the clock via pxa2xx_spi_clk_disable().

Additionally, commit 29d7e05c5f75 ("spi: pxa2xx: Avoid touching
SSCR0_SSE on MMP2") documented that disabling the hardware block via SSE on
MMP2 SoC platforms corrupts the RX/TX FIFO. Instead of calling
pxa_ssp_disable() directly, use the helper function pxa2xx_spi_off(),
which respects the MMP2 platform quirk by bypassing SSE register writes.
