[BUG/PATCH 1/4] DTS: GTA04: SPI / gpiolib: work around a regression that unhides a broken legacy handler, which makes the gta04 display inoperable

["H. Nikolaus Schaller" <hns@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is an ugly workaround for a regression introduced into v5.1-rc1 by

<c1c04cea13dc234ce9a4504879ddd36ea524d880>

The GTA04 board uses a bitbanged SPI interface to control the LCD and it did work
right from the introduction of the cs-gpios 5 years ago by <c2e138bc8ed80ae291d689917e88d2d09bf1d478>
but unexpectedly stopped with v5.1-rc1.

Since we already use the gpio-flags for high level CS, we did not add spi-cs-high,
which is listed in the bindings documentation as optional and indicative and not
described as required to make it work. And it worked without this flag until now.

Now the newly introduced patch to gpiolib-of.c removes a bug which prevented an
ugly legacy handler for of SPI active high chip select to run. This now suddenly
requires spi-cs-high to be defined in addition to the gpio flags.

Trying to find a workaround in DTS shows that there seems to be another bug in the
legacy handler code in gpiolib-of.c because it checks for the spi-cs-high flag not
in the individual slave node (as one could expect from bindings documentation) but
the spi controller node.

Unfortunately it requires us to add legacy flags to a DTS to make the workaround
code functioning.

I would prefer that the workaround code and the spi-cs-high property is completely
removed from gpiolib-of.c and all DTS which still use legacy gpio flags are fixed.

fgrep spi-cs-high arch/*/boot/dts/*.dts* shows only a handful of board candidates.
