Hm. Then you don't need a chip-select, and SPI driver must understand
this case. When SPI controller has no "gpios" property, it should just
ignore any chip-select toggling operations.

As an implementation example you can use this patch:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/12499/

grep for "SPI w/o chip-select line."
