i dont know why you would do that.  i dont know why you need to know
the limit anyways ... if the cs is below MAX_CTRL_CS, then it's a
dedicated cs.  if it's not, then it's a gpio.  run the setup code like
normal and if gpio_request() fails (like it can do anyways if it's
already taken), then the SPI master will clean up after things and
return an error.
