nrf 52833 mesh zephyr chat + SPI errors

[Jejpi23]

Hello im trying to implement SPI connection to my mesh project. I tried to add Spi but when i add this line to my prj.conf:

CONFIG_SPI=y

this error imidietly appears after programing the device (standard evaluation board nrf52833):

E: >>> ZEPHYR FATAL ERROR 4: Kernel panic on CPU 0
E: Current thread: 0x20002e98 (main)
ASSERTION FAIL @ WEST_TOPDIR/zephyr/include/zephyr/drivers/gpio.h:730
E: r0/a1: 0x00000004 r1/a2: 0x000002da r2/a3: 0x00000001

E: xpsr: 0x41000000
E: Faulting instruction address (r15/pc): 0x00036dfa

when i delete this line from prj.conf the program runs normaly, can you help me get this working, thanks.

my versions :
v3.12.0 - nrf Connect
v1.2.4 - Toolchain
v2.1.2 - nrf Connect SDK

Update i found what caused the error. the .dts file had this line :

&pinctrl {
	spibb0: spibb0 {
		compatible = "zephyr,spi-bitbang";
		status="okay";
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <0>;
		clk-gpios = <&gpio1 11 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
		mosi-gpios = <&gpio1 12 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
		miso-gpios = <&gpio1 13 0>;
		cs-gpios = <&gpio1 14 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;
	};
};

after i deleted it code "works", but spi does not. so yea
