spi-gpio: allow operation without CS signal
Change spi-gpio so that it is possible to drive SPI communications over GPIO without the need for a chipselect signal. This is useful in very small setups where there's only one slave device on the bus. This patch does not affect existing setups. I use this for a tiny communication channel between an embedded device and a microcontroller. There are not enough GPIOs available for chipselect and it's not needed anyway in this case.
