Can you pinmux your SPI controller's (cs) pins as GPIO? If so, you
should be able use that for testing.

AFAICT unused chip selects are initialized to 0, so all single chip
select devices would have it as their second one. This will then cause
this check to reject every single chip select device after the first
one. So you first need to make sure to only compare valid chip
selects.

So the loop condition should be something along idx <
spi_get_num_chipselect(), not idx < SPI_CS_CNT_MAX.

The message might be misleading for multi cs devices where the first
one is free, but the second one is already in use.

So maybe move this error message into spi_dev_check(), where you have
that information available. You then even have the chance to state
what is using the CS then, but that might be something for a different
patch.

this else if belongs to the following brace as the else of the if
(spi_get_csgpiod(spi, 0) && spi_get_csgpiod(spi, 1). Currently it
would make the first check redundant, as the second case would always
be true if the first one is.

Actually shouldn't you iterate over the cs's here in case one is using
set_cs() and the other one is gpiod? You can only get here if both are
backed by gpiods. And you would only set the first cs, but not the
second one. The ->set_cs() callback doesn't allow specifying which of
the (multiple) cs's should be set though.

Won't you delay twice if both CS's are backed by gpiod (and the
controller does not implement set_cs_timing)? You should probably
break after the first or so.

I wonder if it would makes sense to have a helper function to set cs
state to all cs's indicated by cs_index_mask so you can share most of
the logic between the single and multi cs paths.

Currently it seems both paths have a lot of code (and comment)
duplication, with the difference being one path is touching one cs and
the other two (or all).

Wouldn't you need to check for any of the cs_index_mask enabled CS's,
and not just the first one? AFAICT you would currently fail to catch a
SPI_CS_WORD transfer with both cs enabled where the first one is a
SPI_CS_WORD capable native CS and the second one a gpiod.

I admit I haven't followed the first iterations, but Is there a reason
this isn't a SPI_XXX flag in spi.h? There seem to be quite a few free
bits left.

I would think multi_cs can be emulated (somewhat) via gpiod for the
second CS as long as the controller supports set_cs() (and
SPI_NO_CS?).
