This converts the BCM2835 SPI master driver to use GPIO descriptors for chip select handling. The BCM2835 driver was relying on the core to drive the CS high/low so very small changes were needed for this part. If it managed to request the CS from the device tree node, all is pretty straight forward. However for native GPIOs this driver has a quite unorthodox loopback to request some GPIOs from the SoC GPIO chip by looking it up from the device tree using gpiochip_find() and then offseting hard into its numberspace. This has been augmented a bit by using gpiochip_request_own_desc() but this code really needs to be verified. If "native CS" is actually an SoC GPIO, why is it even done this way? Should this GPIO not just be defined in the device tree like any other CS GPIO? I'm confused.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
