I don't think it would be to difficult to add support for the SPI GPIO expander right? Or is this feature already in there?

That's something we thought of, is it really worth compared to the I2C MCP23O17 ?

It is required when using a DPI screen with anything other than the compute modules. The only ports left when using RGB565 16-bit (Mode3) is SPI, 3 GPIO, and 2 PWM. (GPIO:9,10,11,18,19,25,26,27)

Guess a little more involved. Using this should really help; https://github.com/piface/libmcp23s17

And example use: https://github.com/piface/libmcp23s17/blob/master/example.c
