- make sure ("spi: fix client driver breakages when using GPIO descriptors")
  is in your tree
- your panel's CS is active-low, so 'spi-cs-high' should be removed from its
  devicetree entry. In accordance with the rules as explained in commit
  message of 6953c57ab172. Also in accordance with the table you posted
  in this patch.

When these two changes in place, your panel should work. I have tested this
by mirroring your setup on my board:

spi5-gpio {
       compatible = "spi-gpio";
       #address-cells = <0x1>;
       #size-cells = <0x0>;
       pinctrl-names = "default";
       pinctrl-0 = <&...>;

       sck-gpios = <&gpio... GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
       miso-gpios = <&gpio... GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
       mosi-gpios = <&gpio... GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
       cs-gpios = <&gpio... GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
       num-chipselects = <1>;

       ethernet-switch at 0 { /* active low cs */
               compatible = "micrel,ksz8795";
               spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
               reg = <0>;
       };
};

If this does not work for you, then what are we missing?
