I forgot to mention whzy signed: negative values for gpio-indices,
positive as usual for SSEL lines.

Background:
Chip select size change: allow specification of SPI-device
hardware-related spi control per device-specific (native) or gpio-based
control.
mode size change: obligatory... A mode bit could also be assigned a
selection bit: chip_select interpreted as native SSEL-index or as
gpio-index (instead of negative value for chip_select).
Chip select differentiation bottom line: Naming of the device. I'm not
sure how to establish this. spidev0.x are normally assigned for chip
selects driven by the SPI peripheral hardware. GPIO-based: spidev0.gpioxx?
