I'm using custom board. My spi node:
			spi0: spi at f0000000 {
				status = "okay";
				cs-gpios = <&pioA 23 0
					    &pioA 22 0
					    &pioC 29 0
					    &pioA 14 0>;

				fm25 at 0 {
					compatible = "cypress,fm25";
					spi-max-frequency = <40000000>;
					reg = <0>;
					pagesize = <256>;
					size = <131072>;
					address-width = <24>;
				};
				/* ADC */
				spidev at 1 {
					compatible = "spidev";
					reg = <1>;
					spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
				};
				/* IO expander for busaddr */
				spidev at 2 {
					compatible = "spidev";
					reg = <2>;
					label = "busaddr";
					spi-max-frequency = <10000000>;
				};
				/* audio codec */
				codec: codec at 3 {
					compatible = "ti,tlv320aic3x";
					spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
					reg = <3>;
				};
			};

This does not work without patch, because of 2 chips selected at one time because of PA14 is periph_a. Probably ROMBOOT 
changes that.

See my node.

But is this called from spi driver when requesting gpios as cs?
