Well, thinking more about this, and reviewing the i.MX 28 datasheet a
bit more thoroughly, I don't think you need this GPIO thing. It is an
active-low pin that should be kept low during the entire duration of
the transfer, which basically is a chip select. And in turns out that
the CFA10049 board uses pins that can be controlled as chip selects
directly by the SPI controller, so you should rather use this rather
than introduce a specially handled GPIO. This needs testing, but I
don't see why it wouldn't work.

Best regards,

Thomas
