SPI device drivers using the libi2c API can call the 
rtems_libi2c_send_addr to address a slave device via the chip select.

I have a simple SPI device driver at

https://github.com/asuol/RTEMS_rpi_testing/blob/master/SPI_bus/microchip_23k256/23k256.c

For more examples have a look for files including rtems/libi2c.h on the 
RTEMS tree. Note that you will also find I2C drivers using this API, so 
you have to filter those.

For documentation you can check the libi2c header file, as it is more 
complete than its doxygen.

Anyway, I believe there was a desire to move SPI support to another API, 
as it happened with I2C.
