chipselect is to be used.

I've left this one off for now. Take a look at the patch I posted and
let me know if you think this one should still be applied.

I think that of_spi_register_master should return an error when the cs-gpios property is broken (part of patch 2) and that cs_gpios and cs_gpio should be initialized to the same value as a hole in the plist.

This patch does not work without 1 and 2, so I'll submit a modified patch once "of: Create function for counting number of phandles in a property" has stabilized. Would it have to go through the gpio branch then?

Cheers,
Andreas
