If you want PA14 to control cs1 and PA22 to control cs0 (both configured as GPIOs), you'll have the following definition: cs-gpios = <&pioA 22 0>, <&pioA 14 0>, <0>, <0>; > > > > Here the gpio is requested by the spi core when defining the cs-gpios > > property.

Take a look at [1], which is set as the gpio_request_enable callback, called by pinctrl core when a gpio is requested.
