Can't you just set

    master->use_gpio_descriptors = true;

instead and be done with it?
Then drivers/spi/spi.c:spi_get_gpio_descs() will configure the GPIO line
as output for you.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
