spi/spi-gpio: add support for controllers without MISO or MOSI pin

There are some boards that do not strictly follow SPI standard and use
only 3 wires (SCLK, MOSI or MISO, SS) for connecting some simple auxiliary
chips and controls them with GPIO based 'spi controller'. In this
configuration the MISO or MOSI line is missing (it is not required if the
chip does not transfer any data back to host or host only reads data from
chip).

This patch adds support for such non-standard configuration in GPIO-based
SPI controller. It has been tested in configuration without MISO pin.
