[PATCHv2 1/2] Documentation: dt: spi: Add GPIO Slave Select Parameter

From: tthayer

From: Thor Thayer <tthayer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Some SPI masters require the slave to be selected before a
transaction can occur - even in the case of GPIO chip select.

This patch adds a GPIO slave select parameter to indicate
the slave needs to be selected in the GPIO CS case.

If cs-gpios is used the number of chip selects will be increased automatically
