MXC SPI driver has a feature whereas a GPIO line can be used as a CS signal. This is set up by joining the CS and GPIO values into a single value using (cs | gpio << 8), and passing it off as a CS value. This breaks the sf probe command, because it is no longer possible to invoke it as sf probe <cs>. Instead, the user must use sf probe <cs | gpio << 8>.
Fix this by introducing a new board function: board_spi_cs_gpio(). When called, board_spi_cs_gpio() will return the gpio number for the cs value it is given.

Just curious, but is this fixing generic SF code or MXC SPI driver ? I'd think the later, but it's not obvious from neither the description nor the subject. I don't quite understand the problem that you're trying to fix either, what happened, did the user command interface change ?
The U-Boot shell command "sf probe" can accept a chip select value, but if the SPI device on the other end requires an active chip-select over multiple transactions (achieved in the MXC SPI driver using a GPIO), simply typing something like "sf probe 0" will not work.
Why not ?
This is because whatever the user passes as chip select is propagated to the driver, and the driver expects this value to have GPIO information. So for example, if IMX_GPIO_NR(2, 30) is used to force active chip select 0, then instead of "sf probe 0" the user will have to type "sf probe 15872".
You mean sf probe 0:15872 , right ? But then, you can use CONFIG_DEFAULT_SPI_CS to specify the default CS, no ?
I agree that the subject line should be made a bit more specific to mxc_spi though...
