Hi Krzysztof,

Thank you for the review.

Will fill it in next version.

SPI clock bias needs to change at runtime depending on SPI mode, here is an example of

how this is supposed to be used ("spi_idle_low_pins" and "spi_idle_low_pins" are defined

in the second patch of this series):

&spicc {
    pinctrl-0 = <&spi_pins>;
    pinctrl-1 = <&spi_pins>, <&spi_idle_high_pins>;
    pinctrl-2 = <&spi_pins>, <&spi_idle_low_pins>;
    pinctrl-names = "default", "idle-high", "idle-low";

    [...]

};

Right, there are actually three set of pin controls, will correct the bindings above.
