At first sight, I don't see anything that is wrong.
My first guess was that the r2a11302 pmic is still responding to commands,
corrupting your data, but you do force its CS line high through a GPIO hog.
Have you hooked up a logic analyzer?
Is the GPIO hog for MSIOF1_SYNC_3 working? You can monitor it on EXIO A pin 23.
Is cs-gpios working correctly in the spi-sh-msiof driver? You can monitor it on
EXIO B pin 7.
Is the PMIC driving MSIOF1_RXD_3 anyway? You can check if you unjumper EXIO A
pin 33.
Perhaps the PMIC just does't like seeing a 25 MHz signal on the CLK line? It has
spi-max-frequency = <6000000> in DT.
Running out of ideas for now...
Good luck!

The spi-sh-msiof driver uses "num-cs" instead.
Shouldn't make a difference here, as the default value in the absence of the
property is 1.
