This isn't going to work with system designs which ignore the /CS line
the controller has and just use a GPIO instead.  This is very common,
for example when connecting multiple devices to the same SPI bus.

It seems like there's really two changes here.  One change is making the
provision of pinmux information optional, the other is allowing the user
to use the controller /CS management rather than using GPIO.
