[PATCH linux dev-4.10 v2 1/3] dt-bindings: fsi: Add optional property no-scan-on-init

Add an optional FSI master property 'no-scan-on-init.  This
can be specified to indicate that a master should not be
automatically scanned at init time.  This is required in cases
where a scan could interfere with another FSI master on the same
bus.
