+ * 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 the bitbanged bus is later switched to a "native" controller,
+ * that platform_device and controller_data should be removed.

+ * struct spi_gpio_platform_data - parameter for bitbanged SPI master
+ * @sck: number of the GPIO used for clock output
+ * @mosi: number of the GPIO used for Master Output, Slave In (MOSI) data
+ * @miso: number of the GPIO used for Master Input, Slave Output (MISO) data
+ * @num_chipselect: how many slaves to allow
+ *
+ * All GPIO signals used with the SPI bus managed through this driver
+ * (chipselects, MOSI, MISO, SCK) must be configured as GPIOs, instead
+ * of some alternate function.
+ *
+ * It can be convenient to use this driver with pins that have alternate
+ * functions associated with a "native" SPI controller if a driver for that
+ * controller is not available, or is missing important functionality.
+ *
+ * On platforms which can do so, configure MISO with a weak pullup unless
+ * there's an external pullup on that signal.  That saves power by avoiding
+ * floating signals.  (A weak pulldown would save power too, but many
+ * drivers expect to see all-ones data as the no slave "response".)
