title: ST Microelectronics SPEAr SPI CS GPIO Controller

description: >
  SPEAr platform provides a provision to control chipselects of ARM PL022 Prime
  Cell spi controller through its system registers, which otherwise remains
  under PL022 control. If chipselect remain under PL022 control then they would
  be released as soon as transfer is over and TxFIFO becomes empty. This is not
  desired by some of the device protocols above spi which expect (multiple)
  transfers without releasing their chipselects.
 
  Chipselects can be controlled by software by turning them as GPIOs. SPEAr
  provides another interface through system registers through which software can
  directly control each PL022 chipselect. Hence, it is natural for SPEAr to
  export the control of this interface as gpio.
