You need to transition all the drivers doing things manually but yes.
As I keep saying all the GPIO handling needs to be completely
refactored.

While this solves the particular issue Jiří is seeing, this will not
solve the case where PA14 (CS0) is not used by the spi driver at all. It
will remained muxed as CS0 and toggle when the spi master needs to
access CS0 until another driver muxes it to something else. I still
believe we should explicitly ask pinctrl to mux them as gpios.

I'm just guessing as to what the issue that he's seeing is but isn't
this just saying that the board pinmuxing is wrong?  If the board
doesn't want the pin to be used by the SPI controller it shouldn't be 
configuring it that way.
