It is very common for SPI controllers to absolutely require setting a
chip select in order to do a transfer, when using GPIO chip selects with
such controllers the standard practice is to just not mux out the chip
select signal from the controller and do everything in software.  The IP
will be doing it's thing with it's chip select signal but that signal is
never actually connected to anything.
