No, that makes no sense at all. If we're requesting a GPIO to use as chip select we can't just then ignore the GPIO, we need to control it at some point and... > which gpio pin was used is defined in spi_device, named cs_gpio, the > configuration to the gpio pins will be done in the setup callback > routine of each device.

That's at best going to be redundant and is likely to introduce bugs.
