The updated patchset will use linux/gpio/driver.h

The top of the file will look like this in the updated patchset.

 * Pensando Elba ASIC SPI chip select driver.  The SoC supports output
 * direction only as it uses a generic GPIO pin for SPI CS.

The SPI cs are not used for any other purpose, we needed four chip
selects and native DW supports two.

Yes as part of patchset v2: [PATCH v2 11/13] dt-bindings: gpio: Add
Pensando Elba SoC support
which documents "pensando,elba-spics" in new file
bindings/gpio/pensando,elba-spics.yaml.
