I need an ACK from Mark Brown on this before I apply.
The driver seems to do what it should, but I need Mark to
be OK with exporting the CS signals from an SSP/SPI block
to be exposed to Linux as GPIOs.

(Top-posting and quoting patch verbatim so Mark gets it.)

I don't see any sort of reasoning for this?

Maybe there was some earlier, but this is an excellent opportunity
to repeat it... So Anders: why do you want to do this?

Well, the problem with adding this to the spi-pl022 driver (as a
vendor specific extension) is that this IP block unfortunately isn't
distinguishable from the standard ARM PL022 implementation (same
values in the PrimeCell identification registers). That's why I went
down the GPIO path...
