spi: Optionally use GPIO descriptors for CS GPIOs
This augments the SPI core to optionally use GPIO descriptors for chip select on a per-master-driver opt-in basis. Drivers using this will rely on the SPI core to look up GPIO descriptors associated with the device, such as when using device tree or board files with GPIO descriptor tables. When getting descriptors from the device tree, this will in turn activate the code in gpiolib that was added in commit 6953c57a ("gpio: of: Handle SPI chipselect legacy bindings") which means that these descriptors are aware of the active low semantics that is the default for SPI CS GPIO lines and we can assume that all of these are "active high" and thus assign SPI_CS_HIGH to all CS lines on the DT path. The previously used gpio_set_value() would call down into gpiod_set_raw_value() and ignore the polarity inversion semantics. It seems like many drivers go to great lengths to set up the CS GPIO line as non-asserted, respecting SPI_CS_HIGH. We pull this out of the SPI drivers and into the core, and by simply requesting the line as GPIOD_OUT_LOW when retrieveing it from the device and relying on the gpiolib to handle any inversion semantics. This way a lot of code can be simplified and removed in each converted driver. The end goal after dealing with each driver in turn, is to delete the non-descriptor path (of_spi_register_master() for example) and let the core deal with only descriptors. The different SPI drivers have complex interactions with the core so we cannot simply change them all over, we need to use a stepwise, bisectable approach so that each driver can be converted and fixed in isolation. This patch has the intended side effect of adding support for ACPI GPIOs as it starts relying on gpiod_get_*() to get the GPIO handle associated with the device.
