Rob,

The intended use was for the SPI driver to use mux_control_select(mux,
<cs>) and then have the mux driver translate the <cs> to the right bus
interface, according to its configuration. The SPI driver would have a
"mux-controls" property bound to this mux.

Anyway, I am getting pushed in the direction of using the "mux-mmio" and
"spi-mux" combo, so this driver and bindings are being dropped again.

I am currently awaiting the "rx-sample-delay-ns" issue to be clarified
such that I can refresh the series.

Thank you for your comments!
