OK so I've had a look at this. The changes to change struct spi_master
to use gpio_desc in drivers/spi/spi-gpio.c are pretty straight forward
(in-line patch below, apologies for MUA wrapping).

There are a few SPI host drivers that deal with cs_gpios directly.
spi-mt65xx.c and spi-davinci.c would be trivial to update. spi-ep93xx.c
and spi-imx.c are harder because they handle non-dt platforms.

Changing struct spi_device to use gpio_desc would be wider reaching but
probably automatable s/gpio_set_value/gpiod_set_value/.

I'm a little too nervous about messing up spi-ep93xx.c and spi-ep93xx.c
to push ahead with changing all of SPI core. I'd be happy to help out
someone with access to platforms using those.
