Why is this the one patch in the series with any versioning information?

This appears to be making the device control chip select 0 if a GPIO
chip select is used - that's going to work poorly if there's a device
using that chip select.  It should be fine to prohibit that
configuration if the hardware requires that a GPIO be controlled,
especially if the native chip select can be pinmuxed to a GPIO, but it
ought to be at least documented that this won't work and ideally
detected.
