Thank you for your answer.
How about an empty

	cs-gpios;

property? To explicitly state we haven't just forgotten it -- we just 
know we don't have one instead. (There are plenty of empty "ranges;" 
properties in ARM DTSes -- I don't know if the use case is the same though).

Or else a null-valued

	cs-gpios = <0>;

property?

I'm open to other proposals of course.

Thanks again!
