Aha, I see what the problem is I think. The old code for mpc8xxx had this:

       ngpios = of_gpio_count(np);
       ngpios = max(ngpios, 0);
       if (ngpios == 0 && !spisel_boot) {
               /*
                * SPI w/o chip-select line. One SPI device is still permitted
                * though.
                */
               pdata->max_chipselect = 1;
               return 0;
       }
(...)
      master->num_chipselect = pdata->max_chipselect;

But the new code in the core has this:

    nb = gpiod_count(dev, "cs");
    ctlr->num_chipselect = max_t(int, nb, ctlr->num_chipselect);

So it relied on inspecting the device tree and set  this to 1
if it didn't find anything.

I will send a patch to test!
