I suspect the solution is simply not to have the pinctrl node set the CS
pins to GPIO_OUT, but rather rely on gpio_request() ->
bcm2835_gpio_request() -> bcm2835_pmx_gpio_set_direction() setting up
the pinmux function for any GPIOs that are requested. Presumably, the CS
GPIO for each chip is only requested when the DT node for the SPI device
(not SPI controller device) has been parsed, so the correct GPIO CS
value can be passed to gpio_request()/gpio_direction_output()?
