This would all be a lot simpler and more direct if you were to arrange
to use cs_gpio in the struct spi_device, and move you closer to
converting to use more of the core functionality.

It's much better to use gpio_request_one() rather than using
gpio_request(), it's one function apart from anything else.  The above
is also discarding the return code of gpio_request() meaning it's broken
for deferred probe.  The error code should also appear in the error
message.
