I'm aware of the issue, but I don't have a solution for this situation. 
It's a problem anywhere we have a parent or bus binding defining 
properties for child nodes. For now, I'd just avoid it in the examples 
and we'll figure out how to deal with actual dts files later.

For this one in particular, CS to clock timing isn't any FSL or 
controller specific, but is device specific. So this probably should 
have been a generic spi bus property (if not implicit). That's somewhat 
easier to work-around than potentially adding controller specific 
properties to every slave device schema.
