yeah can drop it

I'll prefer to let the spi framework manage it

yeah I was thinking about it too

how about we split it in two

num_hw_cs manage by the drivers

and

num_gpio_cs for cs gpio

and num_chipselect (hw + cs) will for internal use

the gpio cs will be after the hw cs.

and we move the gpio cs from spi_bitbang to spi_master

J.
