But this doesn't work, as spi_bitbang_start() has to be called before requesting GPIOs because the GPIO data in the spi master is populated when the master is registed, and that doesn't happen until spi_bitbang_start() is called. The default only works if one uses one CS. So add a failure path call to spi_bitbang_stop() to fix the leak.
