Actually, few lines above master->num_chipselect is initialized with:
	master->dev.of_node = pdev->dev.of_node;
[...]
	master->num_chipselect = master->dev.of_node ? 0 : 4;


So 0 in the case of DT support, 4 otherwise.


Now looking at the source code of spi_register_master(), this function:

1 - calls of_spi_register_master(), which initializes master->num_chipselect:
	nb = of_gpio_name_count(np, "cs-gpios");
	master->num_chipselect = max_t(int, nb, master->num_chipselect);

	if (nb == 0 || nb == -ENOENT)
		return 0;

2 - check master->num_chipselect with:
	if (master->num_chipselect == 0)
		return -EINVAL;

It means that in the case of DT support, master->num_chipselect was initialized
according to the value of the "cs-gpios" DT property. Hence this property used
to be mandatory but now we want it to be optional for hardware version 2 and
later.

This is why we added a check "hw version >= 2 and cs-gpios missing". In such
a case the master->num_chipselect was initialized to 4 so spi_register_master()
does not fail with -EINVAL.

I have applied the following fix after your patch and now the driver works
again on sama5d2:
