Holes in the cs-gpios DT phandle list is supposed to mark that native
chipselects is to be used. The value returned from of_get_named_gpio_flags in
this case is -EEXIST. By initializing cs_gpios and cs_gpio with -EEXIST, this
and only this errno will indicate to a spi controller driver that a native
chipselect is to be used.

I've left this one off for now. Take a look at the patch I posted and
let me know if you think this one should still be applied.

I think that of_spi_register_master should return an error when the 
cs-gpios property is broken (part of patch 2) and that cs_gpios and 
cs_gpio should be initialized to the same value as a hole in the plist.

This patch does not work without 1 and 2, so I'll submit a modified 
patch once "of: Create function for counting number of phandles in a 
property" has stabilized. Would it have to go through the gpio branch then?

Cheers,
Andreas

I'll put it through the DT branch since that is where I'll put the
of_count_phandle patch (assuming it is ready for the 3.9 merge window).
