The expectation that the driver will be using the chip select exactly as
passed in and not attempting to implement SPI_CS_HIGH itself when it has
set_cs() has been there for a considerable time now, that's not new with
the cleanup. Drivers should only be paying attention to SPI_CS_HIGH in
cases where the hardware controls the chip select autonomously and so
set_cs() can't be provided.

Please take a look at the list archive discussions around this - there's
been a lot of confusion with GPIO descriptors in particular due to there
being multiple places where you can set the inversion. Note that the
situation you describe above is that you end up with all the various
places other than your driver agreeing that the chip select is active
high as it (AFAICT from what you're saying) actually is.
For GPIO chipselects you should really fix the driver to just hand the
GPIO off to the core rather than trying to implement this itself, that
will avoid driver specific differences like this.
