Some SPI masters require the slave to be selected before a
transaction can occur - even in the case of GPIO chip select.

This patch adds a GPIO slave select parameter to indicate
the slave needs to be selected in the GPIO CS case.

To me, this looks more like a new flag the SPI controller driver should
set in spi_master.flags, instead of a DT property.

Yes, I see your point since this is SPI master specific. I'll respin as 
you suggest.

Thanks for reviewing!
