SPI devices can specify a cs-gpios property to enumerate their chip
selects. In device tree, a zero entry in this property can be used to
specify that a particular chip select is using the SPI controllers
native chip select, for example:

    cs-gpios = <&gpio1 0 0>, <0>;

Here, the second chip select is native. Allow users to pass
ERR_PTR(-ENOENT) as the key field in struct gpiod_lookup, indicating a
native chip select.

As the build bot pointed out - this should have been ERR_PTR(-ENOENT).
