SPI devices can specify a cs-gpios property to enumerate their
chip selects. Under device tree, a zero entry in this property can
be used to specify that a particular chip select is using the SPI
controllers native chip select, for example:
cs-gpios = <&gpio1 0 0>, <0>;
Here, the second chip select is native. However, when using swnodes
there is currently no way to specify a native chip select. The
proposal here is to register a swnode_gpio_undefined software node,
that can be specified to allow the indication of a native chip
select. For example:
static const struct software_node_ref_args device_cs_refs[] = {
{
.node = &device_gpiochip_swnode,
.nargs = 2,
.args = { 0, GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW },
},
{
.node = &swnode_gpio_undefined,
.nargs = 0,
},
};
Register the swnode as the gpiolib is initialised and check in
swnode_get_gpio_device() if the returned node matches
swnode_gpio_undefined and return -ENOENT, which matches the
behaviour of the device tree system when it encounters a 0 phandle.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
