Enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP in kernel configuration, we get
this warning in spi_gpio_setup:

chipselect (in this case, spi_gpio_chipselect, which calls
gpiod_set_raw_value_cansleep), can sleep, so we should not hold
a spinlock while calling it.
This issue was introduced by this commit, which converted spi-gpio
to cansleep variants:
d9dda5a191 "spi: spi-gpio: Use 'cansleep' variants to access GPIO"
Replace spinlock + busy variable by a mutex, and get rid of
spi_bitbang_prepare_hardware and spi_bitbang_unprepare_hardware,
which are not useful anymore.

Actually, I'm not sure if I understand the existing code: why are we not
waiting for busy to go down to 0, then call chipselect, instead of not calling
it at all if the bus happens to be busy when we setup the device? With the
current approach, it would be easy to just use an unconditional mutex_lock.
Also, is it harmful to deactivate the newly setup device in spi_bitbang_setup,
even if the bus is busy with another device? chipselect should be independent
for each device (or is it not?). So I'm not clear why we need any locking at
all...
Hopefully someone can shine some light on this...
Anyway, this patch series does not change the existing behaviour, applies on
top of broonie-sound/for-next, and, along with the 2 follow-up patches, was
compile-tested on x86-64/arm (allyesconfig) and ppc44x (defconfig+SPI driver),
and runtime-tested on an arm platform.
