[PATCH 1/3] of_spi: add generic binding support to specify ncs gpio in the slave

[Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD]

This will allow to use gpio for chip select with no modification in the
driver binding

When use the ncs-gpio, the gpio number will be passed via the controller_data
and the number of chip select will automatically increased.

When a spi master have only gpio chip select and is probe via dt check the
number of chip select only when adding slave.
