Yes.

Actually this was added by somebody else. Do you know what 0 in 3,0 
stands for? Is there a way I can retrieve the chip-select id so that I 
can remove the davinci-chipselect property. The driver uses a cs index 
of 0-3 and the hardware documentation refers CS2-5. Actually cs2 is CE0 
signal. So internally driver
translates to 2-5 to 0-3. pinmux is currently done in platform specific 
init code and probably need to migrate to use pictrl later.
