Looked into this. The pins are 67=CLK, 68=MOSI, 69=MISO for spi0 on
t8103 (they should be added to pinctrl even though they are already
configured by iBoot, ping Janne).

It does sound like there's no hardware CS for SPI0, so the referenced
GPIO 109 is probably just a GPIO. In that case it should work when
declared as a cs for the SPI controller node. If that doesn't work we
need to figure out why and fix it, not add it into the z2 driver.
