This doesn't apply against current code, please check and resend.  As
previously mentioned please use subject lines matching the style for the
subsystem.  A few other things below but it's basically all good.

So the question is if we should depreciate native chip-selects for this
driver with one of those future improvements listed below.

Given that this driver is only going to be used with a single SoC (or
perhaps a very limited set of SoCs, I don't know if it's the same driver
in the Pi 2) even if the DT specifies a hardware chip select we should
be able to look up which pin that's brought out to and put it into GPIO
mode if that's the most sensible thing for the driver.

The Pi and Pi2 are essentially identical with the exception of the CPU, so yes this driver should run there too (and the GPIO and pinmux are identical too AFAIK, so any interaction there ought to work the same).
