+ * 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.
