[PATCH v7 4/9] spi: cs42l43: Use actual ACPI firmware node for chip selects

From: Charles Keepax <ckeepax@opensource.cirrus.com>

On some systems the cs42l43 has amplifiers attached to its SPI
controller that are not properly defined in ACPI. Currently
software nodes are added to support this case, however, the chip
selects for these devices are specified using a hack. A software
node is added with the same name as the pinctrl driver, as the
look up was name based, this allowed the GPIO look up to return
the pinctrl driver even though the swnode was not owned by it.
This was necessary as the swnodes did not support directly
linking to real firmware nodes.

Since commit e5d527be7e69 ("gpio: swnode: don't use the swnode's
name as the key for GPIO lookup") changed the lookup to be
fwnode based this hack will no longer find the pinctrl driver,
resulting in the driver not probing. There is no pinctrl driver
attached to the swnode itself. But other patches did add support
for linking a swnode to a real fwnode node [1]. As such the hack
is no longer needed, so switch over to just passing the real
fwnode for the pinctrl property to avoid any issues.

Fixes: 439fbc97502a ("spi: cs42l43: Add bridged cs35l56 amplifiers")
Cc: stable+noautosel@kernel.org # Don't backport, previous approach works, fix relies on swnode changes
