I assume that these are defined in a datasheet. It may be worth noting
"see datasheet" above this collection of properties.

I don't believe that "simple-bus" should be here.

I suspect recent DTC will warn here, as the unit-address should match
the reg for the node (and no reg is defined). Here the reg would have to
be two cells, which means we have to make up an address, no?
We can either give the node a name without a unit-address (e.g. cs_0),
or define some reg format.

The cover letter mentioned this should go.

It feels odd that in the node for chipselect N, sub-devices have to
encode the chipselect number in their reg, when it's obvious from their
container. It may make more sense for the cs node to have a non-empty
reg (or somehow to make that translation/truncation implicit).
