+ help
+ This simple GPIO bitbanging SPI master uses the arch-neutral GPIO
+ interface to manage MOSI, MISO, SCK, and chipselect signals. SPI
+ slaves connected to a bus using this driver are configured as usual,
+ except that the spi_board_info.controller_data holds the GPIO number
+ for the chipselect used by this controller driver.
+
+ Note that this driver often won't achieve even 1 Mbit/sec speeds,
+ making it unusually slow for SPI. If your platform can inline
+ GPIO operations, you should be able to leverage that for better
+ speed with a custom version of this driver; see the source code.
