Marek Szyprowski 3c8e1a84fd spi/spi-gpio: add support for controllers without MISO or MOSI pin
There are some boards that do not strictly follow SPI standard and use
only 3 wires (SCLK, MOSI or MISO, SS) for connecting some simple auxiliary
chips and controls them with GPIO based 'spi controller'. In this
configuration the MISO or MOSI line is missing (it is not required if the
chip does not transfer any data back to host or host only reads data from
chip).

This patch adds support for such non-standard configuration in GPIO-based
SPI controller. It has been tested in configuration without MISO pin.

/*
* For each bitbanged SPI bus, set up a platform_device node with:
* - name "spi_gpio"
* - id the same as the SPI bus number it implements
* - dev.platform data pointing to a struct spi_gpio_platform_data
*
* Or, see the driver code for information about speedups that are
* possible on platforms that support inlined access for GPIOs (no
* spi_gpio_platform_data is used).
*
* Use spi_board_info with these busses in the usual way, being sure
* that the controller_data being the GPIO used for each device's
* chipselect:
*
* static struct spi_board_info ... [] = {
* ...
* // this slave uses GPIO 42 for its chipselect
* .controller_data = (void *) 42,
* ...
* // this one uses GPIO 86 for its chipselect
* .controller_data = (void *) 86,
* ...
* };
*
* If chipselect is not used (there's only one device on the bus), assign
* SPI_GPIO_NO_CHIPSELECT to the controller_data:
* .controller_data = (void *) SPI_GPIO_NO_CHIPSELECT;
*
* If the MISO or MOSI pin is not available then it should be set to
* SPI_GPIO_NO_MISO or SPI_GPIO_NO_MOSI.
*
* If the bitbanged bus is later switched to a "native" controller,
* that platform_device and controller_data should be removed.
