Is there not a better name than "dw-spi-mmio"?

What's the full name of the device, as on a datasheet? Is there no model
number?

Otherwise this looks ok.

If this is optional, when wuold I need to set this? What's the default
assumption?

Mark: I see some bindings have "num-chipselects", and some have
"num-cs". Do you have a preferred form that people could align on?

Cheers,
