[PATCH] spi: spi-gpio: Don't set MOSI as an input if not 3WIRE mode

[Kris Bahnsen]

The addition of 3WIRE support would affect MOSI direction even
when still in standard (4 wire) mode. This can lead to MOSI being
at an invalid logic level when a device driver sets an SPI
message with a NULL tx_buf.

spi.h states that if tx_buf is NULL then "zeros will be shifted
out ... " If MOSI is tristated then the data shifted out is subject
to pull resistors, keepers, or in the absence of those, noise.

This issue came to light when using spi-gpio connected to an
ADS7843 touchscreen controller. MOSI pulled high when clocking
MISO data in caused the SPI device to interpret this as a command
which would put the device in an unexpected and non-functional
state.

As an aside, I wasn't sure how to best put down the Fixes: tags.
4b859db2c606 ("spi: spi-gpio: add SPI_3WIRE support") introduced the
actual bug, but 5132b3d28371 ("spi: gpio: Support 3WIRE high-impedance turn-around")
modified that commit slightly and is what this patch actually applies
to. Let me know if marking both as fixes is incorrect and I can
create another patch.
