Given the hard real-time requirements of SPI slave, supporting GPIO chip
select may not be feasible.

Thanks for the review!

As I managed to fix the issue with spi_slave_abort() on MSIOF, I think
the remaining
obstacle is the DT binding.  Do you have any feedback or other
suggestions in that area?

IMHO having the ability to bind to an SPI slave handler either from DT or
by using the sysfs virtual file is useful to have.

Thanks again!
