That is basically part of my question is the current setup doing
what it is intended to? The Samsung binding has controller-data
blocks on each of the slaves that specify the gpio for that
slave.

@@ -1326,7 +1340,11 @@ static int s3c64xx_spi_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
        sdd->cntrlr_info = sci;
        sdd->pdev = pdev;
        sdd->sfr_start = mem_res->start;

This part of the original patch adds the check, I guess the
mistake could be an assumption that of_find_property will
recursively check all the children, which it won't. This will
just check the controller node itself for a cs-gpio property but
as these are specified within sub-nodes they won't be found.
Hence currently you need to add one at the controller level.

Thanks,
