IIUC, we can't convert completely due to some legacy boards providing
their CS lines as integers. But even then, a few more API usages can be
converted.

While looking into this, I noticed that this patch violated the formal
rule to never release a GPIO with the old API when it was requested with
the new one. That's at least stated in the docs, even though gpio_free
is equivalent to gpiod_put. Fixed that already, but I need to find some
time to retest.
