[PATCH] ARM: dts: sunxi: Add num-cs for A20 spi nodes

[Emmanuel Vadot]

The spi0 controller on the A20 have up to 4 CS (Chip Select) while the
others three only have 1.
Add the num-cs property to each node.

I don't think we have any code that uses it at the moment. What is the
rationale behind this patch?

Thanks!

 Hi Maxime,

 If num-cs isn't present nothing prevent to start a transfer with a
non-valid CS pin, resulting in an error.
 num-cs are default property especially made for this and a SPI driver
should try to get the property at probe/attach time.

 Cheers,

Yes, but as far as I know, our driver doesn't. I'm all in for having
support for that in our driver, but without it, that patch is kind of
useless.

 Yes the Linux driver doesn't use it but my upcoming one for FreeBSD
uses it. So it is not useless for downstream user of DTS.

Ah, I didn't know this was for FreeBSD. So you started to use our DTs,
or do you have some modifications to it? How does that work?

Anyway, the fact that it isn't used by our driver at the moment and
that it's meant for other OSes should be mentionned in the commit log.

Thanks!
Maxime

 Yes we use the DTS from linux from quite some times now. We're
currently synced with 4.7-ish.
 We either use them directly or modify them according to our needs and
driver support.

 Yeah I understand, I'll send a v2 with this in the commit log.

Do you have a link to those modifications?
