I don't think this can work in general: not all SPI hosts uses GPIOs
for controlling CS, so the logic can't work, and it's also a layering
violation for the driver to look at the parent.

I would suggest fixing this using a new API function from the SPI
core, if we don't already have a generic way to do it.
