The current documentation does not clearly explain how to invert the SPI
CS signal to make it active-high. This makes it very difficult to
understand.

This patch adds a simple explanation on how to set the CS line in
active-high and adds an example to make it easier for users who need
that setup for their SPI peripherals.

Please submit patches using subject lines reflecting the style for the
subsystem, this makes it easier for people to identify relevant patches.
Look at what existing commits in the area you're changing are doing and
make sure your subject lines visually resemble what they're doing.
There's no need to resubmit to fix this alone.

My bot found errors running 'make dt_binding_check' on your patch:

yamllint warnings/errors:

dtschema/dtc warnings/errors:
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-controller.example.dtb: /example-1/spi@20204000/display@0: failed to match any schema with compatible: ['sitronix,st7920']

doc reference errors (make refcheckdocs):

See https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/devicetree-bindings/patch/20241211165054.254164-1-ikerpedrosam@gmail.com

The base for the series is generally the latest rc1. A different dependency
should be noted in *this* patch.

If you already ran 'make dt_binding_check' and didn't see the above
error(s), then make sure 'yamllint' is installed and dt-schema is up to
date:

pip3 install dtschema --upgrade

Please check and re-submit after running the above command yourself. Note
that DT_SCHEMA_FILES can be set to your schema file to speed up checking
your schema. However, it must be unset to test all examples with your schema.
