spi_gpio driver
Generalize the old at91rm9200 "bootstrap" bitbanging SPI master driver as
"spi_gpio", so it works with arbitrary GPIOs and can be configured through
platform_data. Such SPI masters support:
- any number of bus instances (bus_num is the platform_device.id)
- any number of chipselects (one GPIO per spi_device)
- all four SPI_MODE values, and SPI_CS_HIGH
- i/o word sizes from 1 to 32 bits;
- devices configured as with any other spi_master controller
When configured using platform_data, this provides relatively low clock
rates. On platforms that support inlined GPIO calls, significantly
improved transfer speeds are also possible with a semi-custom driver.
(It's still painful when accessing flash memory, but less so.)
Sanity checked by using this version to replace both native controllers on
a board with six different SPI slaves, relying on three different
SPI_MODE_* values and both SPI_CS_HIGH settings for correct operation.
