+ *   - 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 ... [] = {

+ *		.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.

+ * floating signals.  (A weak pulldown would save power too, but many
