Originally this is what I have done until I was pointed to the generic cs-gpio mechanism
in the SPI core.
It is a generic mechanism already in the SPI core driver.
See: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi/spi-bus.txt
It is also part of the generic spi.h (include/Linux/spi/spi.h), already part of
" struct spi_device" So it seemed redundant adding another mechanism for
implementing the same.
Platform that interact with a wilink need to use it, and platforms that don't
have this capability will probably not interact with a wilink device using SPI.
