Cycle CS pin in case of checksum error #4

With this PR, I’m adding a line which disables the CS pin in case of a checksum error.
Sometimes it happens that a slave gets in a state which never exits a loop of checksum errors, and a chip select cycle is needed.

With this fix, my firmware never gets stuck in that kind of loop. I don’t know whether this solution applies universally, so I’d like to have my change reviewed, as I am still relatively new to this BMS chip (LTC6813).

I also don’t know if state changes of the CS pin should happen in this function, as callers might not expect this.

Thanks a lot for this PR!

Please rebase your PR on master for running the QA pipeline. The previous configuration did not cover PRs, which is fixed now.

From my point of view, it's the correct & expected behavior for setting the CS pine state here.
As the only upper method calling read() is within read_daisy_chain(), which is managing the CS pin state (except the case you just found).
