9b00bc7b901f (spi-gpio: Rewrite to use GPIO descriptors) removed the
fields for the GPIO numbers, so this is definitely not the way
anymore.
Since the code now always uses descriptors, the performance comment in
the first paragraph does not apply anymore as well and should be
dropped as well.

I think you need to use platform_device_register(), at least both
remaining users do so. And this is AFAICT now the only option for
registering it via C code (which also means that DRIVER_NAME will
never be defined from outside, and GENERIC_BITBANG will always be true
... ).
