[PATCH 3/3] libertas: if_spi, driver for libertas GSPI devices

This can be handled by the SPI driver. See pxa2xx_spi.c as an example. 
Look for cs_control() to get the picture..... 
Perhaps this should go to the general driver and not be handled by the 
chip specific code. Seems a problem general enough.  

Chears,
