So after reverting this patch I found there is a issue in that it is difficult
to determine when a transfer is complete to properly drive the chipselect from
within the transfer_one function.

Then I figured that we could handle the case when GPIOs are being used with
some conditional calls to omap2_mcspi_set_cs in the omap2_mcspi_work_one
function.

Near the beginning of the function I added:
	if (gpio_is_valid(spi->cs_gpio))
		omap2_mcspi_set_cs(spi, 0);

Near the end of the function I added:
	if (gpio_is_valid(spi->cs_gpio))
		omap2_mcspi_set_cs(spi, 1);

This makes GPIO chip select support work while leaving the native working
as previous.

Is this solution acceptible?

In the process of reviewing the changes I found a few other things that
should be changed as well.

Here you will see a delay that is already handled by the core spi driver:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/drivers/spi/spi-omap2-mcspi.c#n1166

In the set_cs function the inversion of the enable that occurs in the
core spi_set_cs function based on SPI_CS_HIGH needs to revert as the
controller handles the inversion with OMAP2_MCSPI_CHCONF_EPOL bit in the
CHCONF register.

If you approve of the fix for the GPIO support, I will provide a patch
series with all of these above mentioned fixes.
