Hrm.  I'd *hope* that of_get_named_gpio() would distinguish between the
property being there but unparsable and the property being absent.  Does
it not do this?

We ought to handle the errors differently depending on where they came
from - an unspecified GPIO means use the physical chip select but a GPIO
we fail to obtain is an error we should handle.
